Although I`ve had a set of these for donkeys years, I never actually painted a picture with them. After seeing a few of my friends using them at art group I decided to "Give them a try" and this is what I came up with. It`s quite difficult to photograph oils, but you get the idea. The colours aren`t quite that bright IRL, and there are more variations in the sky colours, with pinks and lilacs amoungst the blues.
I have to say, I loved using the WMO, and I will definately use them again.
Another picture I painted this week was the following...........back to my old faithful.......watercolours.
I love painting night scenes, with all the bright colours reflected on the water.
Yet another St Mary`s lighthouse.
...........just trying these colours for a bit of fun. I enjoyed using the bright yellows and pinky colour together.......a very eye catching combination.
I took the reference for the above painting several years ago, but never got round to painting it.
While I was waiting for the sky to dry on the St Mary`s lighthouse painting, I played with this.
All tied up
I liked playing with lots of wet in wet washes, and I used candle wax resist, for texture........ I liked playing with the different techniques so much, it was hard to know when to stop......lol
At Last!....... I can finally add this painting to my blog..........
Baby Esmai, painted several weeks ago, but the recipitent only got it this week.
As you can tell, I`ve been busy.
