Acrylic Playtime

-
It's been a while since I've done any painting with acrylic.
I'm working on a very large painting on canvas at the moment and I wanted to show you but the light's been so atrocious here today and yesterday that I haven't been able to take any photos. Here instead are a couple of pages from my sketchbook where I've been playing with some luscious pinks and a collaged seahorse!
This one's background had a tiny help with cleaning up in Photoshop. Did you really think I was that neat and tidy at painting? ;)

Your little bird is cute, and I love my photoshop! I am looking forward to seeing the large painting.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
