how are you all?
I've been visiting so many new places here in Scotland, garnering so many ideas for paintings that I am printing photos as I go now, in case I lose track of them all. Currently I have seven drawn out and sitting in paper stretchers, waiting for the watercolour magic to begin!
Firstly, let me show you a painted view of the beautiful Lomond Hills.

You may notice it isn't quite as realistic as previous paintings, because I am trying to convey an emotional response also. I hope you enjoy it.
Also, a new acquaintance wanted a portrait of her dog painted, so this is Blackie
after I drew that portrait, I drew a second of the same dog, so that I could experiment a little. I love exploration, whether it be travel or painting!
Here is my experimentation, and it's a mixture of ink and watercolour.
Blackie Ink
I'll have a quick run round some blogs, then I'm off to explore some more.
Have a great day!
(as always, all painted using W&N paints - and on St Cuthbert's Mill Saunders Waterford 140 rough paper.)

The view is very pretty. Blackie reminds me of a dog I had years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann.
DeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've layered the textures in the landscape. Good work.
I moved to a new blog, A Botanical Brain from Maywyn Studio.
Glad you liked the landscape! I took a visit to your new blog, I like it!
DeleteThose poppies make the landscape...well, just pop! ♥♥♥♥ And isn't Blackie a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThey surely do, don't they Robin? :-) Blackie is a lovely pup.
DeleteVery nice! I like the experiment because I can see the dog's features better.
ReplyDeletethanks, Linda. It's always the same with black dogs, which is why I tried the experiment ;-)
DeleteI like a lot the first painting! Arianna
ReplyDeletePat your painting of Lomond Hills is so beautiful. I often sing or hum the tune Loch Lomund. It is such a lovely song. Love your two versions if the sweet pup. Please continue having a great time. Hugs!
