Creative Colour Mixing at Nature in Art
I really enjoyed a great week as Artist in Residence at Nature in Art followed by a lively two-days teaching a Creative Colour Mixing Workshop.
These are the pictures I worked on during this week.
This is my first trial of Strathmore Bristol Vellum 300 series and I really enjoyed working in this paper. Not so happy about the slightly grey tinge to the paper or the fact that the colour seemed to drain a bit but I will now persevere with something more vibrant. We really need a trustworthy and enjoyable paper to replace Fabriano hopefully only in the short term.
These ‘Larger than Life’ Parrots are finally near completion, just a tidy up and then off to be scanned.
I managed quite a bit more leaf work on this “larger than Life’ Artichoke but it is very painstaking.
Finally, I got started on my next really large piece, ‘Larger than Life’ Day lilies. I can’t wait to continue with this but have to finish those pesky leaves first!!
Not to bad for a week’s work, thanks to Nature in Art for having me!
