Beware of the seventh wave

Womens T-Shirts/Sweaters

Beware of The Seventh Wave was painting in acrylic paint in 2008. It is the original art work of Sketchart26. It was painting solely from my imagination. At the time when painting it I used only a toothbrush and a fine blade. I later uploaded a photo to Photobucket where I added a frame to the painting. The design features two tall ships struggling to survive the crashing waves all around them, whilst some of the crew watch on in their little floatable boat, waiting to be rescued.

Mixed work

Sunday, June 21, 2009

A busy day in the painting world for me last night and today. So last night I did some more work on my engagement card design as I wasn't happy with it.


I also did some work on my tiger landscape. I added in a shadow above the eye and a extra strip of to the side of his head near the ear.




I also painted another painting last night of a snow scape but may be doing some extra work to this one.



Today my niece gave birth to a baby girl which I will be going to see real so. But I wanted so much to give her something special so I decided to paint her my own card to go with her present.



I am also working on a big cat which is being painted on MDF Boards size 61 x 92 cm. The first step was just to outline it.




The second step is to begin putting in the underlying colours.


Design for engagement card & Tiger Landscape

Friday, June 19, 2009

Just completed this one in soft pastel on blue Colourfix paper 30 x 40cm in size. Once I sort the photos I will have this one done as a stop motion video, thanks to Julz taking all my photos as I worked. Thanks Julz . It's the first time I have attempted tigers in pastel, but was reasonable happy with the outcome. Painted mostly from my imagination although I used a reference for the tigers.



This is just a little design I have done for an engagement card on my shop. It's done with watercolour pencils and was painted on 18 06 09.
