@30pics4jackiesdiamond Jackie, these are so great!
What I would suggest, for the next sunflowers field ;) to make a very light green or brown wash before you paint, so tgat you are not left with that much white space between the plants and bits.
Otherwise, these are so great!
@monikozi yup, I agree that's why I need tutorials!! It is green though, camera washed it out @theredcamera I was inspired by giants before me @wakelys thank you @salza I like quirky @jacqbb the over head, birds eye view, coffee cup looks like a frying pan doesn't it!!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - the art pieces are rather great and i am honoured that you were inspired by my sunflower fields photo that you put it into canvas. thank you, my friend. i might do the capuccino one of these days. i, too, have been thinking of painting "outside" but not brave enough to be seen by others.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond very impressive to get three done so quickly and so well. I don’t think the coffee cup looks like a frying pan at all. And interesting spoon but the coffee cup itself looks very grounded. The flowers and sky look exactly like the photo @summerfield posted
@summerfield I was in my garden!!!!! No way would I paint in front of others!!! @grammyn They are teeny tiny Katie, will fit on an A6 card as a topper. You are such a kind critic xx @grammyn
I like all the colors in this trio and the background. The local arts council is sponsoring a 'plein aire' art group that will be meeting at one of the county parks.
@randystreat Whoa!!! THAT is awesome.
I would go out and paint with anyone, if there was anyonevto do that. Actually I went out by myself. Which is nice and quiet. But I'd love some company every now and then. @30pics4jackiesdiamond@summerfield Nobody cares what I do if I paint outside. People just pass by. Maybe a child would stare longer. But really, nobody cares. People are so busy about their own things.
@monikozi I am a very messy artist ( and cook and anything I do really) I spread myself and detritus all around me as I 'work', lose things so move things to find them, thus spreading myslef even further out! I#d take over a park or beach! Must say I've not tried plein aire, so when this heat wave is over........................??
@30pics4jackiesdiamond You know, for plein air you can limit your materials. For instance take the smallest colour palette you own. or just take coloured pencils. Or just a waterbrush. Or only a fountain pen. It is a challenge and a relief at the same time, not to have all the materials at hand.
This "series" was painted outdoors, sat under an awning, and my acrylic paints dried to a solid lump!!
Now going to lounge in the shade to read a book
