New paintings and regular art updates.
Faces drawn in a nice app I used to use a few years ago. But I had to delete it because I don’t have enough memory on my phone. Maybe when I finally upgrade it I will reinstall it. I think it was called sketcher app. I think I still have it on another device but that’s not linked to the Internet very well so I have to mess about trying to link things. Maybe I should get more organised. I quite like this.
Layers of ink, using three coloured pens held together. Then another layer with three more felt pans. By using different dark and light colours you get an effect that makes the paler colours recede. I wonder if I should fill in some of the gaps in bright colours. I might try doing that digitally….
I was asked to paint some script onto a wall several years ago ( the script was an edited version of the quote in the photo) I think it came out OK ( emulsion paint used). This was before my arm started shaking, when I still had a steady hand. I think I try and follow the words on the wall, some days more than others. X
I did this drawing four years ago, it just popped up on my Facebook memories. I can’t remember what app I used. I think I deleted it off my phone because it took up too much memory. I must have been thinking of pigeons or parrots? Anyway it was fun to draw.
Another pattern drawing, limited-ish pallette, green, blue, orange silver and black, different shades. It’s hard to know what to do and when to stop. I used to decorate our Christmas tree and I had an idea of where to place things and where to end. I think I use that little skill in art. I don’t think I overwork things to much. But I do like a strong pattern.
Monoprint patterns in black acrylic, randomly cut up then layered. Photograph adjusted in the photodirector app on my phone. It feels a bit like layers of celtic knotwork I think. Maybe I should glue pieces down so that they can lift up and reveal different layers.
Close up photo of a metal ring holder and a copper coloured stapler. It’s interesting what you can do with duplicated photos. I didn’t know it was going to look like this. It looks like architecture or a space ship with a distant galaxy reflected on the shining floor of the ship. I will play with some more images, juxtaposing different shapes, textures, and colours.
A self portrait, using a self portrait photograph then using a texture filter by photodirector. Finally I used a flood fill to lighten the surrounding sections. I never know what is going to happen when I start. But something emerges. Something changes. And I end up with a picture that interests me.
Mural at Fenton Town Hall by an unknown artist. It is painted in tiny squares (like pixels) and based on a plate design of an oak tree, cottages and a tumble down fence. I’ve seen it before about two years ago. Now it’s much more complete. It’s a huge picture. Very interesting and beautiful.
I had been told by staff there that it had been painted by a particular artist. I’m afraid that was not true and I’m happy to set the matter straight and confirm it was not painted by her.
Doodle in ArtRage oils free app. I’m so busy drawing with felt pens that I forgot that I have it on my phone. I’m sort of sticking with blue and yellow as my main colours. Why, because Ukraine is on my mind. I guess this isn’t brilliant but finger painting with smudgy drawing tools can be difficult. I don’t know what made me draw this, but it was fun..
