Art chat thread....October 2018

Beautiful work everyone…it has been a crochet week for me with the workmen here…bad enough when I dip my paintbrush in my cup of tea without having to keep getting up to let the men in and out. All finished now…so back to painting.
I DID manage a quick custom ordered cartoon card

Loch Leven, A3 watercolour. This is my take on a painting by David Bellamy from his excellent book ‘Developing Your Watercolours’.

Hi everyone, my name is Be and i’ve started listing on Folksy .Loving the work i have seen on Folksy. I would love some feedback on my listings if anyone has some time to look and advise on how to improve. Brenda has given me some great advice about listing original work as well, which i will start to add.

Your cartoons are great Brenda @teabreaks and very observational. I’m sure I know that woman!

Flowers aren’t normally my thing, but I enjoyed doing this single poppy in a wet in wet style.

Hello, Be. Your paintings are lovely, very fresh and cheerful and bright, I should think they will sell well!
Brenda - I think this lady is very shortly going to fall over sideways!
Chris, I’m envious of people who can do wet in wet watercolour!

@HelenCliffordArt, wet in wet can be a bit hit and miss to be honest and I have as many misses as I do hits!

I am pleased to report my first sale here. As I have only been here a week or so, I am chuffed with that.
I will paint some more pictures to celebrate.

Well done Christ…the start of many more, I am sure…love the flower.
as for you knowing that woman…well it certainly isn’t me ha ha…I would never fall over with that problem, although I might rock from side to side like a weeble if I sat down on the floor…lol…
I love painting wet on wet…mainly because I usually don’t have a clue what I am doing, so just chuck some water and paint on and wait…
Waving Helen and any other artists…
today I have another cartoon…(on a roll now)
