My favorite building

For Sale

 

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? 

I have other experimental plans up my sleeve.

Deadlines

I'm going to hold you all in suspense for a few days!  Something particularly lovely is being painted and I rather quite like it so far...

Feather and cotton bud with ink

 On another note the Creative Drawing course has started at long last and I have black stained fingers as a result of spending two and half hours messing about with ink, cocktail sticks, lollipop sticks, cotton wool bud sticks, pieces of cardboard, a feather, a straw and a piece of tin foil.

Cardboard and ink

 My friend Heather loved it and created some fabulous expressive "lines" with cardboard and black ink.  My favourite was the feather together with the cotton wool bud sticks.
