Productive Friday

Life drawing this morning and this is the last week for this particular model boooooooooooooo!
She's one of my favourites because I like the poses she does and her hair makes good shapes to draw. She has a lovely face to draw too!Although you wouldn't think that by looking at this picture!

Do you remember the paintings I showed here yesterday? Well I decided to do more to the foreground tree and this is the result..... before
and afterwards.
Better doncha think?
A happy weekend to one and all!

I kind of liked it before, just my preference...but it is still lovely, and reminds me very much of Redon's work.

Beautiful works! Your paintings have such an enchanting quality about them. I like the addition of leaves on the tree in this painting. They balance out the bright area with yellow and white flowers very well.

And your figure drawings are wonderful!

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...
