Its a Start - Foxglove in Oils

Been spending a lot of time gardening and worrying about minor eye op but getting a bit more back on track. This is to be my next work a beautiful Foxglove which I photographed in my garden a couple of years back.

Here it is started on a small canvas (16 by 12 )



There you go I have posted it now so it has to be finished.

I use a laptop to blow up photos to get detail correct when I can and you gotta admire a man who sees a laptop balanced on 3 boxed and then disappears into the garage.

Two days later he comes up with this :

He actually made a fitting identical to the one that locks the camera  on the tripod out of wood and screwed it to a board cut to laptop size. How cool is that.

Lanhydrock is Done

I seem to have spent forever on this painting anyhow now its complete. It has to be complete or I will never finish.

All that remains is the Varnish.

Llanhydrock - another update

Worked some more colours into the bluebells next stage will be to do more of the foreground leaves.

Bella in Charcoal

Started playing with my coloured charcoal and did a drawing of Bella not finished yet but yer tis

The Dahlia is done

I followed a youtube video which explained the technique of Oiling out and am now waiting for this picture to be dry enough to Varnish. I am really pleased with it the only issue is that it isnt bigger but it was a first go.

LLanhydrock Woods

Realise I misspelt this before anyhow that doesnt matter this is how it looks now.

KARTOON KATE
