Bèèèh



Used again a 30x30cm canvas, last time i really lied the technique, so I decided to go on with it!
I want to make a whole new series of this kind of technique :) I like the number of colors used in the painting. ( painting is mirrored by my mac!! )

Didn't know how a sheepshead looked like, so I needed to find a side view of a sheep.
and used a bit of my own imagination so I put another ear on it, otherwise the painting would be dull.

When the background dried up, I started with the big lines like the contour of the head and the upper ear.
then madde the nose ( which wasn't that handy because I'm right handed so I had to be careful with the other side )

I think the neck has like three layers because i couldn't agree with the color palette haha! But now it's not  tooooo colorful as before, it was way to red, so it looked like a dead one.. hmm not good! but now it's more appropriate I think.

Almost 2000 viewers! WHOOHOO

How impressive! Never thought it would go that fast :)
Yesterday I started another blog with how I made my own clothes. I don't do it very much, but if I start I can't stop.. as always hahaha

Of course I'll post the most things on this blog because I love to paint more then making my own clothes, and my easel is always ready for me and the sewing machine not .. It takes so much time to put everything together when you want to use a sewing machine, so don't worry. I'll stick to the paintings!

Easter Feelings

With this nice weather i had to paint! Im not scheduled for today so i decided to make some homework, shop a little and paint !!
I used two different methods. you see the background is more egal, this is because i use a lot of water.. so it looks like aquarel. The chicken is also made with acrylics only with much less water! the paint needs to dry very long because its a huge layer. I also used non realistic colors in the feathers, like Ultramrine Violet ands Pthalo Blue. for the lightning i used Azo Yellow Light ( all Talens Amsterdam )
of course I used Black and white ( Galeria by Windsow and Newton) and water haha
the background is made with white and one of my fav colors : greyish blue

started with Cobalt Blue Hue, and some prussian blue pthalo. mixing with white.. and you get a glass effect! Yes i use different brands of paint, because some brands dont have the color i want.. I always stick at Windsor and Newton, Reeves and Talens Amsterdam
