I'm trying something new!
 |
| Beginning to use acrylics (It's my neighbor at a wedding.) |
 |
| Painted on my grand-cat's birthday. |
From a series of 12 using only alizarin, yellow, black, and white
From a series of 6 using many forms of texture
 |
| Self-portrait using palette knife |
From an additional series of 6 on texture, this time using watercolor.
 |
| Used palette knife, cardboard, etc. to apply paint |
 |
| Pencil, charcoal, watercolor |
 |
| Inspired by the simplification and dramatic lighting of Anzalone |
 |
| Exercise using underpainting |
 |
| More underpainting, inspired by Sonia Barton |
 |
| Use of several kinds of contrast (color, tone, texture, saturation) |
 |
| Missing my choir, I collaged song lyrics |
 |
| Studies using contrast |
 |
| Facebook reminded me of this photo and I liked the reflection |
 |
| Enjoying using texture in the background |
Series exploring effects of saturated/unsaturated colors, warm & cool colors, lights & darks
 |
| Using texture for contrast |
 |
| First time to use oil pastels. Like them. |
 |
| So then I thought I'd try soft pastels, too. |
Working in a series in acrylics. First, realistic, then looser with texture.
 |
| Next, added collage and stenciling, more abstraction. |
 |
| Olive trees in St. Jean de Moirans. Used sponge, palette knife, fingers. |
From a series of abstracts using several layers of collage, paint, lines, stencils, etc.
 |
| Kate's avocado forest |
From Nicholas Wilton's Breadcrumbs challenge:
 |
| Artists share with each other. |
 |
My feelings about Paris
|
An exploration of found photos (from newspaper, etc.) using texture to integrate the background.
 |
| Girl at refugee center holding her dad's finger |
 |
| After her doctoral recital |
 |
| Father and child crossing the Rio Grande |
Working in a series in acrylics. First, realistic, then looser with texture.
