Figures

I recently had the opportunity to see the exhibition of Quentin Blake figures - something a bit different to his well-know illustrations. I really enjoyed the exhibition and this inspired me to try and paint some figures of my own. I've only done two so far, but here they are.

A January Face

I started this page with spray paints and stencils and then lightly painted gesso over it. Once dry, I painted on the face.

My Head Hurts!

I created this page when I had a bad head - can you tell?!

And another! Hope you don't get fed up with all these floral pages - there might be a lot!

This page is a little whacky, or perhaps whimsical is better word, but I like it!

Floral Delights

Here are two more journal pages where I have been practising painting florals. I tried to use a different style to my page in the previous post.

Floral Delights

Here is my first floral page, following Traci Batista's class. You can see some of the stages it went through. I am quite pleased with the result. (Click on the pictures to get a better look.)

By the Sea

A digital collage - I had been thinking about the whale who was swimming in the Thames. I hope he is back in the sea by now...

Florals using Acrylic Paints

This has been a good exercise as I have discovered how to create different shapes with different types of brushes (obvious once you know!).

Happy New Year!
