For those of you who come here NOT for quiche recipes, LOL, here's some art. My friend Linda sent me samples of Peerless watercolors and I swatched them the other day. They're wonderfully bright and transparent!
Top Line (L-R):
amethyst
jaqueminot pink
deep yellow
orange yellow
daffodil yellow
Bottom Line (L-R):
bismark brown
pearl grey
olive
viridian green
butterfly wing
I also sent Linda a little package and the art I sent was a postcard painting of a telephone booth, I named it "Calling Card". It was very strange and difficult working so small. I'm used to larger pieces of paper but it was wonderfully intricate and it was such fun to try and capture all the shadows. I'm becoming addicted to doing shadows in art. Ahh god help me, I look at stuff to see it's color and how the light hits it just in case I want to paint it! I'm guessing that's the heart of an artist, huh?
Title: "Calling Card" |

ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I love the telephone booth and you do do shadows really well. The Peerless watercolors are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour calling card is wonderful, reminds me of my home. New colours and materials are always inspiring. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, lovely to see more of your art. It's a great composition and those colours pop!
ReplyDeleteLove that calling card! Such vibrant colours and a fun image :)
ReplyDeleteGreat little calling card. It is hard to find a phone booth now-a-days. I am also really paying attention to shadows, they seem to be the difference between good and great art.
ReplyDeleteI love my Peerless, and they are the easiest to take with me when I do my pleinair sketching. Your phone booth is adorable, we don't see them anymore so it's nice to see them being sketched.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I LOVE this! This painting of yours fills my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give! Wowzerz!
ReplyDeleteBlue it would be Dr. Who calling. . .great details on the painting. Blessings, Janet
