I've continued practising - and part of the practice was "to be at one" with the subject and to try to capture its essence.
That has taken a bit of working on. You can see from these photos how I progressed.
Then I tried capturing the essence of one of my flowers from a previous post.
This is the lisianthus.Painted on fabriano hot press.
I'm also trying out some new papers.
Did you know I like to experiment? :)
Do you think I've captured the essence of this flower?

Good progress with this style Pat. Did you enjoy it? Will you do more?
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly going to do more, Ann.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of making a combination painting, of ink techniques and something more realistic. Watch this space!
I can see that you do like to experiment and from my vantage point you always seem to have successful results. I really like these and yes I do believe you captured the essence of that flower.
ReplyDeleteI do love the bamboo done in this way, Pat.
ReplyDeletePat,
ReplyDeleteThese are very nice. I love the herons. And yes, I think you've captured the essence of the flower.
xoxo
Love the bamboo and the flower, Pat! And I love to see more in this style.
ReplyDeleteYou are clearly having fun doing this and it does look great !
ReplyDeleteSón molt artístiques aquestes canyes de bambú amb tinta xinesa. Felicitats.
ReplyDeleteYes I absolutely do! And I love the bamboo! :0)
ReplyDeleteMarvellous! I like especially the first! Also I have got a chinese brush but I use it rarely...Arianna!
ReplyDeleteNo cabe duda que te gusta experimentar y los resultados son excelentes. ¡Felicidades!
ReplyDeleteyour experiments are inspiring! makes me want to try different styles. I like the monochromatic bamboo leaves.
ReplyDeleteThose Chinese ink exercises are fabulous..Especially those bamboos. Love them. I have no idea about what a lisianthus is. But I like the simplicity.
ReplyDeleteYes, we know you like to experiment ... and you always leave me feeling inspired. I love this ink work Pat. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood experiment !!! Have fun with your new work is the key to success ;)
ReplyDeleteFabulous composition, detail and washes on your flower painting. That chinese ink work looks pretty tricky to me. I bet you need lots of control.
ReplyDeleteHello Pat:) I know, I'm a little late. I like your bamboo very much, especially the third with the bamboo on the background.
ReplyDeleteI did bamboo too and I liked it. You did a great job! xx
Nice work! Love the herons.
