I wasn't watching the video along with him when I painted these pears. These exercises are just to establish lights and darks but I couldn't leave well enough alone and had to add some stamps and punchanella. On a few of them I also added the dark charcoal which may or may not have helped. You can see that I didn't put the charcoal on the aqua one on the right. All in all I am having fun trying to get really free and loosen up.
Hi Martha! I love your pears! I've also been trying to loosen up my painting in acrylics. I've been watching Karrie Evenson on youtube...very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI do believe you have the hang of doing these pairs! These are wonderful Martha, it always surprises me the beauty you create when you say your just practising some new technique
ReplyDeleteI especially like the yellow green ones.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with lighting - but then I don't practice and should, I think.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful.

Really nice color on the pears, Martha. Also, wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your Colordrop flowers watercolor on-line class. These flowers are a hoot to make and always, always turn out pretty.
