 Wow this is amazing! Seeing your paintings is really humbling
I feel pretty humble after all these nice comments!This one had the whole works thrown at it...masking fluid,spattered gouache,gum arabic in the paint etc.Just a load of tricks.....
Janie Even so, you have to be able to use the "tricks" well in the first place
 Fair comment!I've been incredibly lucky to have had a truly inspirational teacher for a few years.Her work is really amazing!I wish she'd show it here you'd all love it I know.
I'd love to have a teacher, sounds nice
She's wonderful,you'd like her....very creative and good at spotting what's wrong with the painting but today we were told she's giving up teaching for a while.Shock horror!!!
Anyway,less about me.Tell me how you started to paint and what you like as a subject and if you get much time to do it. My now ex-girlfriend gave me some paints as I'd always drawn and regretted giving up art. But I've only started to paint since we split up... I have too much time, and I enjoy painting. Especially after never painting before... there's something wonderful about seeing a creation in colour. But even though I have enough time to paint lots more than I do, I struggle to find something I'd like to paint, then even more to begin. I like to paint portraits and humanity.
 Stunning work, I could get totally lost in this.
-- “I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” Member *Apophysis *Ultra-Fractal Sorry,I only just found your comment.Well,you seem to be painting for all the right reasons and I'm sure you'll find it's impossible to give up now you've begun.Sometimes it's hard to find something you desperately want to paint but then a whole lot come along together and there's a manic burst of energy.I find I can't force it but I just wait and something always turns up in the end.Sometimes I just doodle with colour for the pleasure of seeing them mix.Lovely!
Janie Yes! That's often how I feel, trying it hard to find something to paint. And then when I finally do, it's summoning the courage to paint it lol.
