The granulation in the indigo drawing stone is wonderful. I also love the sound of the thunder in the background - it's very suitable for the stormy landscape painting. I hope you enjoy your experimentation too. I know I am learning a lot through mine.
Thanks Gillian - yes, the drawing stone granulates beautifully doesn't it! Ha, typical summer thunder, all noise and no action - a few spots of rain!! Yes, very much enjoying the experimentation with no expectations, just absorbing how the materials work and react together!!
What a wonderful post. My art always seems to be a bouncy journey or growth and reinvention and pause and reflection and rinse and repeat! Those “in between” moments of doubt used to really rattle me. Love that indigo rock… moody skies and ocean waves!
Thank you - I'm so glad you enjoyed the post!! I think creating art is very much a journey - bouncy, smooth, up, down, backwards, forwards and everything in between! Coming from a farming background I like to think of it as having fallow times and harvest times! Like you, the fallow times used to worry me, but I'm learning to accept them as times for hunkering down, reading, exploring, etc., knowing that the time will come when the paint will flow again.... Yes, the indigo rock is gorgeous, producing some lovely effects!! Have a wonderful week, Carolyn
I admire that you’ve found your style, and just one glance tells us it’s “your” work. That’s an impressive achievement and I eagerly look forward to each video as you generously share your processes.
I re-subscribed . I think I hit the unsubscribe while going on a cull as i like to mix up my feed and inbox, sorry. I've enjoyed watching you go through your piles of work. I definitely think there are some in your no pile that should be given the kudos of a wall to sit on. You're very lucky to have a studio, I've been thinking of turning my worktop shed into one 😊 but can't bring myself to do it. Best wishes. CJ
No worries Carl, I'm always doing that too! Yes, my studio might be small but it's wonderful to have a space where I can leave the art supplies out - unlike before when the top of the washing machine had to suffice, and I had to unpack/pack away every time!! And yes, will take another look at the work - looking with fresh eyes might endear the pieces to me more!! Take care, Carolyn
Oh wow! The granulation on that! When I have some pennies I am definitely getting that. My painting practice has been given a much needed injection by doing an online course in the last few weeks which then seems to have kick-started generally being more productive. And if in doubt - paint mountains seems to be my go to!
Yes, courses are great to give an injection of enthusiasm and impetus aren't they! Ha, my go to is the river or the mud flats of North Norfolk, but mountains would be good too! Have a great weekend!
Has to be the right course, and this one was exactly that. I've been painting mountains this morning but a grassland crept into one! Have a lovely weekend too.
