Flocking Together11x14
Here is a painting I had so much fun doing. I always enjoy painting, but, on this one I used different techniques than I normally use. I am going to show this to the card company. Similar to Love is in the Air and Butterflies which I did specifically with Cards Direct in mind, this image was born. The process of getting a new idea or image in my head is so exciting to me. During my day and talking with other people I am always seeing things to paint or noticing the colors or light on objects. A friend has suggested, " You have to do something with birds." It made perfect sense with the change of season to spring and migration. I used pouring techniques and concentrated liquid watercolor. I think I could do more on this in the ways of adding detail, but, right now I like it as is. Maybe later I will look back and think how naive of me. I have some other ideas that I can't wait to try. If you have an opinion, please let me know!
p.s. i found out who my admirer was and I am not the least bit surprised after the fact.
Beautiful work! How did you do it?

Like the painting, the stenciled look. Great colors and depth.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet.. And also feels very light.. Always good to try out new things especially when you are getting so good results.
ReplyDeleteWould love to know about the secret admirer. :)
Liana: I think it's a splendid watercolor, the colors and composition are perfect for me. Another thing,in my opinion that's also very feminine, it is poetry.
ReplyDeleteCris, I did it by using masks and pouring several times.
