This week's EWW subject was to paint our favourite building. I have never been to La Sagrada Familia but would love to, it is on my list of favourite buildings to see one day. Being in an experimental mood I did a few things with this painting that I have never done before. 1. add some 'hidden' raised shapes. 2. use a different support instead of watercolour paper. Having seen some famous artists who have their experiments on cardboard in museums, I thought why not? </div>
<div align="center">
I have other experimental plans up my sleeve.</div>

After looking at lots of photos of leafy sea dragons, I finally understood what they looked like. I decided how I wanted mine 'posed' and coloured, having such fun with the wet in wet technique. Leafy sea dragons are endangered fish found in Southern Australian waters. They grow to 8-10 inches and feed on small crustaceans through it's long pipe-like snout.</div>

Today, I wanted to paint some more fish. I chose the subject and painted the pipefish and seaweed, then put in the blue background. My inspiration colour-wise came from Van Gogh's painting of Still Life with Quince. There is very little turquoise in this painting though - only on the fish.<br />

So the story of the roses painting is nearing an end. I am planning to get some prints created of the final image once I'm happy with it. I have loved every minute of this painting. It has many happy memories for me of trips out, a sunny summer, conversations and friends.</div>

Today I added the last flowers and lots of leaves. Working away at it slowly and considering where more leaves and darks should go. Pondering over the ribbons, their shape, colour and positioning. The one in the middle is where I want it, the others may change.</div>

Things have been slow, due to work and family commitments. I've been able to put in some more roses from the gorgeous photographs I took at the end of June. Of course there's loads more to go, this is really only the top layer. It's the complexity of these flowers that makes me want to paint them. Every one is given the maximum amount of time, an individual identity brought to life.Nancy Voakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712819854002861568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165387876082770226.post-36486142345130460662013-07-15T12:41:00.001-07:002013-07-15T12:41:43.947-07:00Studio space<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had this studio space but in the winter I don't enjoy using it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />Inspired by the Open Studios, I decided on Saturday to blitz it and remembered it's actually easier to paint here. The desk and chair are at the right height and I don't have to worry about using the kitchen table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a photo of the outside and inside, including the 'studio chandelier'. As usual I ended up having two projects on the go at once (see the pile of papers at the end). I noticed the light wasn't good at dusk, so I need to go out and buy a 'daylight' bulb. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In front of the desk is my rocking chair, great for sitting out on the veranda knitting, crocheting, reading or snoozing.</div>

This is only really the beginning, but already many hours of work put into it. Today I'm painting three pale pink roses, to represent three very sweet little girls in the family who will be blessed to receive this painting when it is done. I'm glad to be painting in shadow, so better get my skates on before the sun comes round...<br />

Here is the painting I completed at home. The rocks have an orange seaweed on them and limpets, I loved the deep blue rock pools. This big splash was extremely messy to do, so glad I did it outside.

I met with some artists from Ely Art Society yesterday to paint "splashes" with Valerie Orchard. She showed us her sea paintings incorporating splashes, put out a large selection of photographs of sea, rocks, splashes, seaside and basically left us to it. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I chose a couple for inspiration, a seaweed covered rock and a view of the coast. The large painting was stuck onto a table because I didn't have a board big enough so I stood up to paint these. It was nice to be able to paint in a loose and expressive way. Putting on the splash was the hardest part, getting it to behave! I did ask for advice here and there and we all created such different work.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Before I left, I started another one which is being completed at home. I've already put on the splash and ended up with paint everywhere, it is so tempermental. I'm not used to messy art!</div>

I particularly enjoyed creating this painting in black/white of Edward and Maria, both school teachers posing for a photograph in 1977. Their clothes created using paper I made last year during the Creative Drawing course. The clouds from a photograph I took last Sunday when the sky was just right for the background - yes I did paint the sky blue, which I think works really well with the greys.</div>

This marathon drawing has taken me 16 hours! I have tried really hard not to draw in pencil first because I hate rubbing out and the effect it has on the paper. Pondering whether to add watercolour. Meanwhile, I have to make a start on something else new.</div>

Anthea ripped up a painting at EWW one evening. I asked her for the pieces and told her I'd make it into cards. She happily gave them to me. A little extra painting, detail and some collage and I'm very happy with the results.</div>

This week's word was 'Curl', I took inspiration from the World Beard and Moustache Championships.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added quite a few extra curls to this guy's beard, the pencil is a Lyra Super Ferby with four colours in one core - blue, green, red and yellow.</div>

The image on the right was me wondering what it would look like with a black background and below the image with less black. Great what a little bit of photoshop can do! Which do you prefer?</div>

To illustrate the word 'broken' I searched around for pieces of pottery. There is a place in the garden where all the broken pottery lives, apart from a few special bits kept in the house.</div>
<div align="center">
Tried to draw/paint them using only various pens and a little bit of water.</div>
<div align="center">
The stripey piece and the little brown piece are particularly special to me, found in the field where the 'Ark' is currently being built.</div>
