I just keep putting on layers of paint until it looks something to what I am aiming for ....when it gets close to that I stop ....usually it never gets close to it though ..... that's why I have so many unfinished pieces in my artroom!!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493518674133085652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-57363438053963456492009-03-01T03:09:00.000+10:002009-03-01T03:09:00.000+10:00What a nice job you did Anne, I love the texture o...What a nice job you did Anne, I love the texture of the strawberries. How did you do it? I tried and failed to get that texture. <BR/><BR/>You did a great job on the lighting too but I owuld have added some three-dimensionality to the yellow pepper.mackbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622082396757299739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-52082374317682058222009-02-26T20:42:00.000+10:002009-02-26T20:42:00.000+10:00Love the reflective light on the fabric and the ap...Love the reflective light on the fabric and the apple and squash are very well painted....well done Anne!Reehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304330794822181767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-18089048097379150142009-02-25T18:19:00.000+10:002009-02-25T18:19:00.000+10:00I paint over the grid lines with gesso before I st...I paint over the grid lines with gesso before I start to paint. As I am painting, the lines disappear under the paint. I very rarely grid these days, just draw freehand, but I did grid that Elliot Bay painting. The first time I drew it, I hated it, so gridded it no worries.<BR/><BR/>You need to buy a small brush to paint right up the those edges woman, and lightly so it isn't noticeable..JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-74656214940006059472009-02-25T18:17:00.000+10:002009-02-25T18:17:00.000+10:00I did actually paint the background first but then...I did actually paint the background first but then, as usual, but had to change it as I didn't like it .....<BR/>I also find it difficult to get rid of the grid lines .....Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493518674133085652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-61439945843074470702009-02-25T18:11:00.000+10:002009-02-25T18:11:00.000+10:00Looking good Anne, I love the seeds on the strawbe...Looking good Anne, I love the seeds on the strawberries! The highlights look good.<BR/><BR/>That kiwi fruit could be a bit furrier, but I have no idea offhand how to go about that. Have a play with textures on scrap paper. Have a look in the watercolour forum for the Texture Classroom by Ona. You can use the same principal with acrylics..<BR/><BR/>You rushing it again woman? I can see the unpainted bits between the background and the fruit. You paint that background last?JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.com
