WA - Acrylic

 

 

Last week Paul Seymour came along to demo acrylic paint, showing us various techniques and styles. I had video-ed Paul but cannot figure how to upload it! Sorry.

 But they are on You Tube Here

 

And Brenda provided a scrumptious homemade cake!

A brilliant afternoon!

Then, this week we had a go ourselves, with the following results.

SOLD!

 

 Paramedic   20" x 30"  Acrylic  

 

 My buyer mentioned that Sue had a charcoal, so, not having a record of it, (couldn't remember, more like!) I asked if he would email me a photo of it.

 

Busker Boy  12" x 18"  Charcoal 

WA, aka Wednesday Afternooners, aka West Winch Art Club

The topic for today was 'paint or draw and animal'.

Skyline  14" x 18"  Oil

I have long wanted to paint these bulls, who live in a field near me. I am drawn to their silhouettes as they meander along the ridge of the hill, but have yet to get the perfect shot.

Not many folk wanted to show off their work today but Jacqui was quite rightly very proud of her giraffe. He is so cute!

June has portrayed this little dog so sensitively with pastels. Brilliant colour choices, including the paper, which sets off the drawing to perfection. That look in his eye is so emotive. 

I admire Davids use of watercolour in painting this crab. No washes for him, just pure colour, which is how I have been trying to pluck up courage to use it, so it was very interesting to watch.

Portraits

Half Full  20" x 16" Oil



Adolescent  30" x 40"  Oil

Paramedic  18" x 24" Acrylic



David Lee  18" x 24" Acrylic

I have delivered paintings for selection (hopefully) to West Norfolk Artists Associations' annual exhibition. One lady commented on the portrait..'Half Full'....and said I had obviously been doing it awhile. I came straight home to compare!

The only really early one I have is 'Adolescent', painted with a very limited palette....red, blue and white. The other two were painted in 2004-2005 ish. I remember thinking they were all fantastic....at the time! Not sure I have progressed very far.
