it’s been a while since I posted a pic on here.
That’s because we have started painting more than one picture
At a time
This gives the paintings time to dry between the layers, without
Having to just stand around and chatting lol
The first picture is a composite of two I found on the web.
I loved the rock wall but it didn’t have anything above it.
So I found a picture of trees in the mist and incorporated it
Into my painting
Not too sure the trees worked, the lighter ones are supposed to look like their further away
And seen through the fog.
But I am happy about the way the rock wall turned out. I know the steps aren’t quite right.
But I worked on them so much that in the end I thought. Well that’s as good as it’s going to get
You have to know when to just walk way I say.
The second picture I painted was of the dawn treader from the Narnia books.
It’s the picture of the ship in stormy water
The front of the boat is supposed to look like a dragon
Honestly it’s the best I could do. And it looks much better than it did last week
These two were painted in class.
I have two going in the new studio.
One is coming along nicely, while the other is doing my head in.
But I’m using these to experiment with different techniques and I’m learning lots.
If all else fails. I can just paint over it and start again.
Plenty of the masters have done that over the centuries
Who knows. Maybe that’s what it takes to become one.
Either way. I’m having fun. And that’s all that counts
