It's all done. There are things I like about it and things I don't like about it. I got the vibrant colours I wanted. My stump turned out pretty good. Now of course it is always easier to see what you don't like in your own work. First I don't like the grain of the paper. I used Mi-Tients, I wished I had tried the smooth side. I think I might have used the same # of layers without getting a gummy look on the smooth side. I don't like the rays of sunlight, it seems juvenile, in the drawing. In my photograph I liked them. I wish now that I had done something more subtle to convey the light. Possibly going with colours to convey the trees and light rather than structured lines. Overall it's not too bad, but if I was going to hang something on the wall it would be my photograph. If you want to see the rest of the WIP photos they're in a post on the new LMA.Let's Make Art has a new site!
Let’s Make Art is a home for self taught artists where they can safely display their work in all media, share tips and ideas, learn from each other or just be friends. It is a social network as much as an art place. Membership is totally free.
You get your own page to customize, your photos can be put in albums and you can have a slide show. It reminds me a whole lot of Sue's Sunday Salon with lots of interaction between members.
Thanks for the comment Paulette.... By the way, sorry for the late reply.... I was a bit busy doing a lot of things lately.... Have a great weekend....! =D
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Paulette! And I love your Let's Make Art WIP.
ReplyDeleteI really like this piece Paulette! I love your use of colour. I agree, the colours are vibrant. While you may not have enjoyed the more textured side of the paper, it looks great. I find the work reminds me of pastel and I love the look of pastel. :-) I also really like how you handled your strokes.
ReplyDeleteHi Pepe, it's always good to see you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having fun while you are busy.
Maricello,thank you!
Teresa, thank you. I am starting to get used to the look of it.
I think you did a beautiful job on your "Morning Fruit."

Thank you Judy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to comment but have been following your wip. Personally, I think you handled the light rays very well & they don't look juvenile to me. I hate the textured side of MiTientes and it's a wonder you even finished this as it's such a struggle to work on with cp.
ReplyDeleteJan,
ReplyDeleteThank you.
It wasn't until I started adding colour that I realized that I didn't like the texture. If I had done a test piece I would have found that out.
