Yesterday the Anza Valley Artists painted En Plein Air at Sylvia's house. When I try to paint outside, the acrylics always dry so fast that I can't seem to create anything. So it ends up as an abstract, impressionistic something or other. Here's what happened during the 2 hour session this time. I wound up using lots of vibrant colors from my palette so I wouldn't waste the paint. Then I didn't like it so I added flowers, roses I think, and bows with Jo Sonja's Iridescent paints using lots and lots of Glaze Medium. I prefer to use JS medium
I kind of like the painting, but I'm not sure, so I am going to take it to the Temecula Valley Artists group (TVAL) on Tuesday evening for a critique. It's free and anyone is invited, members or not. So come on down if you want to get some FREE advice on a particular painting you have done. There is more information at their web site, http://www.temeculavalleyartleague.org. This is an active group and if you are a member you can display art in their Gallery in Temecula. I volunteered to update their website and also became Secretary at the last regular meeting. I like being involved and networking. There are classes and events going on there all the time. Here's the Bows and Blooms, or Ribbons and Roses, I haven't decided on the name yet, or even if it's done.
Penny: What a lovely picture. It looks like delicate ribbon flowers surrounded with veil ribbon slowly floating within and above them. It's a wonderful feeling to see this masterful art.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your positive comments. At the Feedback Forum at TVAL they said I was like a femal Jackson Pollack. It sure was fun to paint this!
