[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2195338, member: 238814"] Fbg 6.9 at 4:30 am Painting this morning. [ATTACH=full]37715[/ATTACH] Tools used - two shaving brushes (as paint brushes) to paint, two fine rigger brushes (for the trees), and a tiny natural make up sponge. And acrylic paints. This one is A4 sized, as opposed to the larger A3 of the last few days. I don't like it because of the frustration with painting in a smaller size. Also I didn't get the luminosity of the area round the misty sun that I wanted. I accidentally got some black in that area, and had to wipe it out and then dry it and paint it white and rework it. That did not make me happy... I will do this smaller A4 sized for next few days to see how I get along with the size. Anyways thanks to [USER=461597]@PenguinMum[/USER] for suggesting The Works. I went yesterday to the clearance outlet. They had odds and ends of stuff I have never seen in the normal Works shops. I got some 500ml System 3 acrylics for half price (I've never seen System 3 at The Works ever before). And some other stuff. And paper. They had a watercolour pad 230gsm, but it was smaller than A3 but larger than A4, (15x10.5"). I like the longer shape of it.. All I need to do is prime the pages in advance, and it will be fine for acrylics. So I bought all they had.... I don't know if it is a regular Works line. But I have enough paper for a few months now!!! I just cannot convince myself to like the above painting. But I have spent an hour on it, so I stop now! I think it is the proportions and smaller size of the A4 paper. Have a good day. Back in bed with cat now. I had a disturbed night's sleep, so I don't feel in the best of moods. Feel dissatisfied with stuff this morning. You know the way you get a sadness descend for no apparent reason? Got to get rid of this feeling. So going to have a nap, and I will wake up bright and cheery. Hugs for those who need them Take care. The day can only get better! [/QUOTE]
