Twiggy

Now I've painted the twiggy structure in.
Using shades of siennas and sepia, the twigs give the swirl some structure.

I'm quite pleased how this is progressing, its beginning to look real.
The reds and the white highlight give this painting a very happy feel to me.

I might even have hummed a little tune, as I painted :)
Some may not like my singing - but I say - God likes to hear the crows too!

Red!

Red, red, glorious red.

One of my favourite colours!

oh and a few smoky greys that give the glass the illusion of 3-D

Table

I've painted the table that this little piece stands on in a blue grey mix.
That's because I want the piece to be the most prominent feature, and not that upon which it stands.

It may not always seem like it, but there is planning involved in painting watercolours!
Some people think I sit and paint whatever comes into my head - but its not strictly true. The ideas come and I make a note of them, but to make a painting really work - I have to plan the stages that you see.

drawing

here 's the latest drawing.
I love drawing, its so restful and time flies when you are absorbed in it.

When I draw for a painting, I only do the basic shapes, because the paint will do all the work of making my concept come alive.

Maybe not all, perhaps I do have a brush in it somewhere!
