The tides coming in.
White horses canter
Over the waves
Will be finished
On the rip tide…
Quick WIP
Tag: Work in progress
Got to finish this.
The closing date for entries for a local open exhibition is the 25th of May. I’m wondering if it’s even worth trying but you’ve got to have a go haven’t you?
I’ll see what I can do to improve this WIP. Working title, Catfish. Acrylic on canvas. X
Wip
I’ve decided to do more to this, I didn’t like the green on it and have tried to make it a bit more like graffiti. I want to tidy up around the edges.. I’m also working on a cat watching goldfish. I did a painting of that idea years ago and the new cat picture has a similar theme… At least I’ve got into painting again..
Painting texture
Work in progress, a square canvas, acrylic on canvas. Painted with a thickish layer of silver paint then I drew the brush through the layer of pigment and created this wavy effect. It almost looks like bark. I may add a moth or butterfly…
Almost done
Latest photo of my self portrait. I think its getting better although it might be a bit too peachy coloured. I need to sort out the hair, it’s hard to decide when to stop. Acrylic on canvas. I have done a few self portraits over the years. This might be my last! I think I’ll call it portrait of the artist as an old lady!
Painting update
I’m still working on this. I tried to sort out the horizon line as it was wobbly. I think that the land in the background is too dark. I want to try and resolve the colours and waves on the sea…. Is it too light or dark….
This is from my imagination but I might try and find something that is similar. Or I could turn it into a more abstract image?
Finally in progress
I started this at art group last November and I hadn’t touched it till today’s art group. That’s about 2 months. I feel guilty that it’s taking so long but with illness and one thing and another it’s taken me this long to get going again. It’s a work in progress and I want to try and get a better feeling of three dimensions to the teapot.
I working the pattern out as I go along and I need to take into account the lighting aswell. It’s been four hours and I didn’t want to stop, but the session only lasts till 2.30pm
Quick portrait
A friend said he would sit for a quick portrait as long as he would not be.identifiable! I did a painting in bright blocks of colour. It’s a small acrylic on board
At the end of the session he took it home. It’s called Harly-Quin.
Sunset
While I was at the group art exhibition yesterday I did some painting. One of them was this small oblong painting of an apple tree at sunset. This is a little work in progress. I’m trying not to muddy the colours. The sky needed to be light and fresh. More to do? More leaves, maybe a little better blending of the blues. Acrylic on canvas.
Leaves, WIP
I went out and picked up a few leaves today as there hadn’t been much rain lately and they are starting to turn interesting colours. I might paint the background as a puddle with sky and clouds reflected in it. I will have to consider it. Acrylic on canvas, work in progress….
