@jacqbb what a perfect rendition of that photo! The level of detail you have captured is amazing! I really need to quit looking at these paintings before I finish mine because I get so discouraged!
@casablanca I did the same thing as in our green droplets on the leaf only with a much finer brush and I started with zinc white instead of titanium white. Zinc white is more translucent. After that you use all the colours you used before to make them round.
@summerfield Come immediately out of that corner friend! I’m painting with oil for about two years and I‘m used to brushed with 10 hairs. I’ve learned so much since joining you all. The waterdroplet exercise was very good because I’m painting one of the fountains of the Alhambra in Spain and had to learn how to do them, now I know how and can do them with a little more confidence. The Paul Klee’s and Cribier’s helped me to go out of my comfort zone and to use colours that I normally would not use. All the ideas we give each other let me grow a bit every time. In our painting class I’m one of the less experienced painters.....;)
@grammyn Please don’t say that Katy. In my reply to Vikki I explained how much I learn from you guys. You do splendid work and dare to do things that I shy away from.
You dare to do an abstract, something I find extremely difficult to do ( in photography and painting) Thank you for your comment on the rose.
@jacqbb oh my word this is amazing!!! Your confidence with all mediums and tools really shows. your droplets are stunning and it's good to read that you are pleased with them too.
Wow. Loving the fabulous pieces that we are ALL producing. It takes me a few days to stand back, have another look at my pieces and think - yeah that not bad for an absolute novice!
Whoa!!!! Just WHOA!!!!!
this is so well done. Your experience shows. I'm very glad for you.
The detail that i think makes it stand out (besides the mad skills you display) [thanks Katy @grammyn for the phrase] is the use of the dark background. It makes the colors pop out so well!
When i grow up, i wish i shall be able to paint like this.
Nooow... LAAADIEEEES!!!!
PLEASE CUT THE COMPARISONS!!!!
Really, they are not healthy or good. We are here to grow. It's nobody's fault that one of us picked up painting yesterday, and the other a couple of years earlier. What matters is where each of us got since we each started. @jacqbb an experienced and skillful painter would not go to a class, except for teaching it. You go there to learn. I'm so glad for you. I would go too, but in the cave where i live, we don't have such courses. Thank goodness for the internet and for skillshare and perhaps other online courses.
Sooo!!
WE ARE THE ARTSY-FARTSY GANG!
@monikozi Thank you so much for this last shout out! I got to a point that I felt uncomfortable and maybe quitting because I don’t want to make the rest of you uncomfortable too. I really like to develop new skills too but not at the costs of the rest of the group.
And thank you for your compliment about my painting Moni!
the drops are great, jb. love that fire engine red you used. so lovely. aces!
