| I was here last night. |
 |
| I've been blocking in the shadows on the iris wet-in-wet, with quin. pink and cobalt blue. |
 |
| I truly love the spontaneity and fluidity and grace of a w/w application. And a horse ridden well, in harmony with the rider, is equally beautiful - the elegance, grace and power ... Back to the painting. If I can maintain this ease and looseness, I'm in heaven. I thought I would lift some of the background to create the appearance of leaves. And I will do some color swatches to get just the right color for the iris. As ever and always, please be welcome to leave any comments! |
WOW!! It is really coming along. I like the idea of using some of your background to create your leaves. Why don't you use some of your dark background colour to make some leaves by painting negatively. You almost have that happening now. Check out my tulips that I just posted, I tried some of that there and was quite excited by some of the effects I got.
ReplyDeletethe iris will be very nice - I see fluidness,rich color and a great composition -especially the skinny photo - you made it have a rythm (sp?) like a dressage movement.
ReplyDeleteIts like magic to see the back ground change!

Keep it up dear Kathryn , your enthusiasm is contagious! Have a nice day! xox
ReplyDeleteKathryn this is turning out fabulous! I love how the washes look so fluid, looks easy but it's not is it?? :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent so far, Kathryn. This is going to be really nice!!!
ReplyDeleteI admire your patience. This is a beautiful painting taking shape. Loose is hardly a word that applies--not if I was doing it. LOL.
