Here's my third piece from the palette knife oil painting class I attend. I bought some new colours and had some fun with them as you can see from above. I find it hard to mix rich pinks and especially intense purples, so it was really great to get it out from a tube :) The photo is taken with a camera phone - will replace with a better picture next week. The actual still life set up is below. More about Mr Wee Shoo Leong's oil painting class here.
Don't be misled by the words "sunday painter" in the title. Thomas Buechner is no ocassional painter - he's an established portrait, landscape and still life painter, he's in his 70s, he paints everyday, and his book is quite inspiring. I'll leave you to visit his website http://www.tombuechner.com/ to find out more about him, but I'll share with you some paintings of his and tell you what I found the most meaningful from his book. I just started another blog which will hold most of my thoughts about painting and art. So do drop by at "What I think about when I think about" and let's talk :)
I had no idea it could be done - but here's my first blog post with my new mobile phone. Well sort of. I took the picture of the two flowers keeping me company at my desk, and sent it to my blog via my phone and then typed in the text from my computer :) I like how the flowers lean into each other. Paint-worthy maybe? :)
Painted from a photo reference. A work-in-progress in oil and acrylic.
My rather messy workspace. Some renovations are going on, so all this has been packed up and stacked under many things. Won't be painting for a while at least not large pieces in oil. Boo :(
