Art & upcycling a clock!

My daughters clock fell from the wall and cracked the rim
she was very upset, so I suggested with some car body filler
we could fix it, paint it into a marble effect, although I have done faux marble
before, never in black!

we sprayed it with matt varnish, which deepend the finish.
Happy with the result.

Two Fairy Paintings

 

I thought I would try something totally out of my comfort zone, paint fairies with watercolours.
It's true as an artist it's good to push your boundaries, try something new, play around with silly idea's / subject.
I thought I would try it with watercolours, using 140 Lb cold press

 

Base layers in, salting done
 I really had to stop & think before painting
with Acrylics you paint from dark to light.
with watercolours you paint from light to dark!

At this stage I had to walk away & come back at it with fresh eyes

 

 

 

 

Finished, happy -

Elfin, The Potion Keeper
She holds the knowledge to everything you seek.



=======================================

Eirlys (snowdrop) The Promise Maker

Mixed Media, Watercolour, Salting & Acrylics
On Watercolour Paper
140 Lb Cold Pressed (NOT)



Most of the painting is done with watercolours
green , phthalo blue & yellow hues

I like her elf like features, she looks like she is up to no good
but she promises you that wishes will come true if
you believe!!

New 2016 painting - City News

Athough I started this month back, I couldn't quite get it right so I had to keep
leaving it & coming back to it.
I plan to do this painting on a larger, long canvas & now I know
what I want to do with it, I am happy

I started with the background below, applying layers to get the depth
of city haze.
Acrylics mixed media on very thick board
allowing me to keep it wet for longer.

A Special memory from Bristol Balloon Fiesta

So my very first painting of 2016 is complete & it's one of my favourite memories of 2015
the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.
This painting is the view after the hot air balloons ascended and floated down the valley.
Magical scene
