Star Bright

I've been painting with Derwent's Graphik Line Painters again.

This time, I picked a starfish and came up with this:-

Star Bright

Bockingford not 140 lb

15" x 11"

Johnny Come Lately

All the brushstrokes are in, and a little spatter too!
Sometimes a girl wants to be extra creative!

I hope you enjoy this painting:

Painting in Two Parts

After I had painted the Sargent "Man with Red Drapery" I was keen to try the brush stroke technique again; so decided to paint something relatively simple  - so that the strokes and paint were the most important thing.
I chose a starfish on the sand.

the first few strokes of paint

The final painting will be shown tomorrow - that's because once I start the starfish, all the strokes are put in as needed - and I'm too engrossed in seeing what's needed  -to photograph stages at this point in my learning.
