Billabong On The Murray, Oil on MDF Wood 65 x 45cm

Friday, March 13, 2009

This one I painted the other week in watercolours and really was not happy with it. It was suggested by a friend on my forum to repaint it as well worth it and a few friends gave me some advice on it which I have tried to take into consideration on this one also. Ive left out the big tree as it was felt best without it. I couldn't bring myself to do this again in watercolours so decided to do it in Oil paint instead. As I have no canvas it's painted on MDF and is 65 x 45cm in size.

It Beast - Graphite A3


Howdy all this was just a little mucking about. I call it "It beast" because it is neither female nor male gender as has inklings of both in it, but beast as it is a beast.

A friend gave me a nice big calender and this is an image I have taken from it. I was using Coral Painter X just mucking about trying to learn the program.

Today I started to add in the pier. Still a lot of work needs to be done on this one tidying it up so this is just an update.

At the suggestion of one of my members on my Woody Art and Things forum I have started a new competition. This competition focuses on particular skills in painting. This time it was looking at monochromes and building up colours bit by bit. This was the outcome of my own entry. In real life it has more of an orange brown tinge to it but for some reason wouldn't show up as such.

I have darkened the trees to the left and also the foreground as well as the large tree in the foreground in hope to give the painting a bit more contrast.

This one have done as a study for the fun competition going in my forum Woody Art and Things. I enjoyed doing this one and focusing on the different tone values.

This was just a little playing around I did yesterday but forgot to upload. My aim was to use only burnt sienna and to paint a monochrome. My other aim was to practice reflections.


Lady Statue

Today I introduced a new fun competition in my forum Woody_Art_and_Things. The competition was of a still life in graphite. So to get the competition on the movie this was my entry. In reality the sketch looks a little darker.

These first two paintings I have done for a fun competition in my art forum.
The topic being "Spring"
I had a lot of fun doing these ones.



The next three paintings I did for the soul purpose of practicing.
Again I really enjoyed doing these ones.






This last one was done on the PC and was just playing around with a friend while chatting. He introduced me to a web page that allowed you to create images just by moving the mouse around. (Thanks Mark)
