When doing quick watercolor pieces, greeting cards, I like to you fine tipped permanent colored markers to add details. It adds quick detail and gives the piece life.
Paintings touch the soul of others when they flow from the soul of the artist. When we remain open to expressing the spirit within us, the brush seems to express the spirits of those we encounter.
I love painting with acrylics and decoupaging with beautiful napkins and mod podge. I have a more whimsical approach to my art rather than realistic paintings. Though that may because I am self-taught and still only at an intermediate level.
I love painting! Gives me peace and joy. My favorite subject is nature. However I have been painting for a life time and I enjoy transferring my joy to my work in all categories. Oil is my comfortable medium, even though I use also acrylic and some pastel or mixed media
Art is my zen…I never know what direction my art is going to go. I do know that it grounds me, calms me, alleviates all my stress, as well as,, so much more.
Half of my life I’ve slowly become a desert rat; drawing and painting buttes, mountains, desertscapes and cowboys. I’ve found my ‘island in the sun’, amongst the coyotes, the horned lizards, cactus and sage.
My daughter in-law asked if I would make a painting of a photo she treasured. She said that she and my son were engaged on this beach.
I painted this in acrylics. This is a photo of the painting, but unfortunately the photo has been cropped.
Working on a quick little sketch with Faber Castell Graphite 9000 on a 9×11 Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper. Loving the texture of the paper for this drawing.
Watercolour on treated canvas!
The Daniel Smith grounds for canvas to prime for watercolour, are good but I found the paint didn’t hold well to the canvas when layering. I did only use one layer on a pre primed canvas so maybe if I used a few layers of the Daniel Smith watercolour primer I would experience different results.
I love using colored pencils in my work.
Love it!
