Good evening all
4.4 today
it's been lovely mild day here today (when it wasn't showery
), a quietish day doing small jobs around the house after all the rattling about last week.
Tomorrow, by request, we're taking mum to visit her bank in a neighbouring town so we may try for a takeaway (who would have thought getting a takeaway would feel like an adventure
).
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - very strong bamboo painting, can almost hear the wind whispering through the leaves
@gennepher - your artwork today speaks, it's very strong and structured and with a vivid palette
@lindisfel - lovely view near where you live
and I enjoy your colourful kingfisher, not a bird we get much here in the Highlands though I have seen one occasionally in other places.
@Muddy Cyclist - interesting to see the change usiing acrylic, deeper and perhaps richer but less transparent, still love the foreground fireworks
.
I haven't tried acrylics except for one go with some dried up ones someone gave me and I'm still learning watercolour basics, so I feel I can try more colours if I get pans but I'll probably move to tubes when I've got a better idea of my own palette, it makes sense.
I hear good things about Sennelier
My grandfather used to paint in oils, he died when I was a child but I remember the smell so very well.
Arty bit -
perhaps the last resist trial for now, I may try it again in the future and may also try
@gennepher 's idea with either white gouache or correction pens or something similar. It's fun to try different things sometimes.
