Painting Project - June 2008

[Hellbelle]

Just finished mine and managed to get a photo of it. That's one (more!) very good thing about long summer evenings, it makes it easier to take the snaps of my paintings!

I liked doing this one very much, it's a very pretty scene, Jackie, thanks

Love all the paintings, it's good to see so many versions of the same scene, I've seen a few things that will help me especially use of shadows.
Hey Dad, that includes yours very nice.

Helen, very, very nice. Wish I could "make it look so easy",  . It's so nice and gently done for such a scene. Lovely painting.

Ian, Yours is great! I love it. Pat yourself on the back!!!  Those aren't turkeys, are they Ian?

Wonderful paintings everyone .. I agree with you Loaf, didn't Dad do well. 
Was yours a watercolour Millie? it is a lovely painting. I am assuming yours is in acrylics Helen .. very nice indeed. I still haven't tried the acrylic palette out yet.

Now for that car .. Hmmmm!! 

[Ingrid]

Here is my MPP .. did it this morning as I spoilt the last one. I cannot believe I put the shadows on the vanes the wrong way round...   

I really enjoyed doing this, Jackie.. thank you.

Lovely painting Ingrid ... I do love your sky. You always do such nice skies ... you'll have to give me some pointers.

[Millie]

I do like your painting Ingrid!! Very, very nice. What a watercolor should be like! 
Yes, mine is watercolor but as usually I tried to paint as if I were painting with oil.

great painting Ingrid glad you enjoyed painting it.

Thanks folks.. 
John, I probably do the same as you do. Wet the sky, brush down with your colour  adding water as you go and then dab with clean Andrex. Sometimes when I apply the water I leave some tiny dry patches, this adds to the overall effect I feel.

As has been said before it gives me a buzz to see all the different versions of the one photograph. I miss seeing bugsy's painting there. Still time left for all you missing regulars to get your brushes out.

[Hellbelle]

Mine was actually done in watercolour, surprisingly enough for me!

I've put the last of the paintings on to the June Project page. For anyone still wanting to have a go at this one, there is no closing date so don't rush, but the July project will be unveiled tomorrow ... not that it will be a surprise for anyone.
