Not sure if I mentioned it, but I purchased an A3 watercolour pad the other week, as I do prefer larger things to paint on now. The intention was to attempt an Abstract Face, not quite sure what happened there, she is not really abstract but obviously not realism either... Anyway, I quite like her so then decided to have a go at glazing, she has about 10 coats of different colour glaze so will take some drying but the colours are amazing, sadly not quite shown off on my photography there.
I currently have another abstract canvas on the go, not too large and its giving me some grief, not being very friendly toward my tape, so that too will be taking a different direction soon.
I have joined a sketchbook group on Flickr, so enjoying some ink, pen and pencil sketching in the evenings now - all good practice so I am told. I do so enjoy looking at other peoples works, I dont feel quite as 'odd' that its all I am interested in these days, there really are others like me out there.. Funny someone was telling me about a lady they knew who's only interest was her dogs and working them, thats all she does! I didnt see a problem with this, to me if someone is lucky enough to find something they enjoy so much they are very lucky, and usually a happy person too.
Righto, back to that painting lets see where it takes me.
Very nice Lynda =) I often like to work in bigger pads too, but then I guess I like any and every kind, depends where the mood takes me. I don't see a problem with it either, all I seem to think about is creativity too - as long as you take an interest in other peoples interests when you see them isn't it the point of life to find & do what fulfils you?? Only got one life and all that, much love xx

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, I love how you mixed all the colors together, and yet she still stands out from the background!
ReplyDeleteI am thoroughly enjoying watching your progress, your experiments are great, especially this one. I think some of the best work often start out as accidents but I have never had that sort of lucky accident. lol. Keep it up, your work is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow she has a very long neck ;) I agree, love the colours!

Thank you Julie and Dianna.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol I will bear that in mind about accidents and not panic as much when they happen, and thank you so much for your kind comments.
Yes Mick, she does have a long neck - very swan like and elegant, the colours are lovely in real life.
