Yes, I’ve been painting again and I must confess I’m loving it!
This is a first attempt at a wet on wet background wash. I need practice with this technique but I’m pretty pleased with the overall result. I worked from a photo I took one summer out the front of our suburban house. The sunset was so beautiful and created a silhouette of the foliage and utility lines. I used a little ink here and there to highlight.
I used a photo I took at the Melbourne Zoo Butterfly House as inspiration for this one. I like the butterfly but am not really happy with the rest, once again, I need practice.
Both were worked on A4 300 gsm paper using watercolour paints, watercolour pencils and ink.
Would love to hear your thoughts/ opinions!
