[QUOTE="geefull, post: 2284706, member: 305199"] 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 :hilarious:). Hope your day is treating you well :) [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] - very strong bamboo painting, can almost hear the wind whispering through the leaves :) [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] - your artwork today speaks, it's very strong and structured and with a vivid palette :) [USER=57698]@lindisfel[/USER] - 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. [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] - interesting to see the change usiing acrylic, deeper and perhaps richer but less transparent, still love the foreground fireworks :joyful:. 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 [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] 's idea with either white gouache or correction pens or something similar. It's fun to try different things sometimes. [ATTACH=full]42647[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
