February art chat thread

I normally like to have an idea in my mind or I get completely stuck thinking how to start. If I were painting more abstract then I’d find it a lot easier to just put some paint on and see where it goes, but for what I’m doing now I always like to do a little doodle first.

There’s an old canvas on my wall that I’ve been wanting to paint over and do something for myself on though, something in a different style to my normal and I have no idea what. Maybe I should just try sticking some paint on and seeing what happens!

Go for it Kim, the good thing about painting on a canvas is if you don’t like it you can paint over and start again :slight_smile:

P.S… sshhhh, don’t tell anyone but you still have your xmas notice in your shop anouncement :wink:

Hello all, I’ve been painting on found beach pebbles of late, it’s a lovely surface to paint on and once varnished it’s so smooth and lovely to hold too! It becomes it’s own object in itself! :smiley:

Painted onto a piece of slate…


…with some interesting effects!

wow, some fantastic artwork…
welcome to all our new artists…keep showing your lovely work…

Only if the paint hasn’t built up too much anywhere! Luckily I think the painting that’s currently there is fairly flat, but I know if I tried covering up my animals or stripes there’d probably be slight raised lines all over giving it away.

Thanks for that, I’m sure I’ve only had about 20 views since Christmas though so luckily I doubt many other people will have noticed.

I like to paint pictures that capture a moment in a persons day.

Popping in to say hello to everyone :heart_eyes:

I haven’t much time to be creative at the moment, Tilly is taking up all of my spare time and when she’s asleep I catch up on commissions. I’m looking forward to being able to draw and paint purely for the fun of it!

I’ve put a few more of Tilly’s sketches in this thread The guide dog puppy lady said YES!

Did my first dog for a customer, thankfully she loved it and so did I so now working on a bigger one :sunflower:

With many tears and hopefully some pride! She’ll be off on her adventures being a life changer - I just hope that her future owner will get in touch with us to let us know how she’s going on.

Beautiful!
