It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. Just a quickie here - I painted my first landscape, and gave it to my brother last week.

Well, Big Eyed Fiona has stuck. That's her name. I'm going to start another painting next week. I've also got my art room set up now, and found a few paintings in a box that I started on, but never finished. That is my next project, to finish them one by one. I'll post the first [...]

Final touches

Acrylics Class – Painting 2, – 3.5 hours
I've applied paint for another 3.5 hours. Some bits need more work like the leg, and the drapes - I think I liked them better 3.5 hours ago. Hmm.

Arcylics Art Class # 3
I had my third class this week, and I really like the assignment. We learned about split complimentarys, and we were asked to choose a famous piece of work, then interpret it in a post-modern style, while using split complimentary colours. I chose orange and green, so my splits are: yellow-orange, red-orange, and green-purple, and blue-green. I've [...]
Little Bun – Outside of art class
Hi again, This little piece I'm working on outside of art class. It's heavily inspired by a print I found at a garage sale. I'm using it to teach myself how to paint faces. I call this one Little Bun. I still have more work to do on the flowers, but I am posting my progress so far... I discovered the artists name [...]
