Well, one of these days I might pick another fruit to paint or even a vegetable. This pear started out as watercolor and ended up with acrylic on the bottom with stamps. I am trying to go back to my original goal when I started this blog...to do a painting a day. Sometimes I make it and sometimes I don't. But doing these exercises with the Robert Burridge's videos it's easier to paint every day because it's fast. You know I am into fast!
Here is a journal spread:
I love your journal spreads - it doesn't matter what they say as they are all just beautiful and filled with little pieces of art...and this pear!!! My, my, my! I share your love of pears . . . I love the colors of this piece especially the shading on the upper right...and the additional texture you've added just makes this a eye-pleasing piece...
ReplyDeletea painting a day - wow. i love the journal page - its filled with energy. i love the textures you have used in your pear art, building layers, and creating texture
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! When does your mixed media/journaling class start? (hint, hint)
ReplyDeletemmmm I am loving your takes on Burridge´s DVD....I have his book but I wish I were as industrious as you and do the exercises....you have inspired me to get the book out:),,,thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, a painting a day!! Could you please talk a bit about your backgrounds and how you make them?
ReplyDeleteLove the pear! It is one of my favorite fruits to paint. That, and cherries. Well done!
ReplyDeletei made that painting a day promise to myself once upon a time....well, that didn't happen.....i might paint everyday but nothing like you do...beautiful work, martha
ReplyDeleteI love your journal pages and your paintings...you've been very inspiring, Martha.. I love Robert Burridge too...bought his vids and they are both entertaining and inspirational...
ReplyDeleteVEry nice pear! I love the pears too and have been painting a few lately. What is it about that little fruit?
ReplyDeleteI guess it's just a little more curvacious than an apple and much more interesting than a banana! Anyway..thanks so much for visiting my Gifts of Creation Learning ARt blog and noticing the kids work! I am so proud of them.
Simply gorgeous Martha!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are soooo amazing! They are both fantastic, and yes, when does your journal page class begin? XOXO
