I started out with a diary several years ago, and did a sketch a day in pen (no rubbing out). It’s amazing how much I improved over the year. The most important thing is to relax, enjoy it, and don’t compare yourself to anyone else.
good afternoon everyone, enjoying a week off and actually managed to get my paints out, not done any painting since last year I think! listed a few but there’s more to come
Really looking forward to see what you do with your book Jackie, it’s in the post today
I’m having a photo crisis. I recently got a new phone, and thought that the photos it took were fab - but now I’m wondering whether it’s just that my display screen is good and the photos are not that good on other devices.
This is one of my phone photos
And this is the same painting with a photo taken on my DSLR
The second one seems too dark on my phone but looks better on my laptop.
How do they appear to you? Which do you think is best?
On my computer, the second is slightly darker but still clear. On my phone
the second one has a very dark almost black background and does not look so good. The first does appear brighter with a grey background. Hope that helps!
Hi all, great to see so much activity and lovely artwork. I’ve been working on a couple of commissions, including this one, Mother & Daughter, A3 watercolour. There’s a nice story behind this, the painting is based on an old photo and it’s a gift for the clients wife.
