Ah well, at least I can share some other work the right way up. I have just finished my 8th week of the Joynal course with Jane Davenport. This course marks a big development in my drawing of figures. I finally seem to understand where everything goes without too much thinking about it. This page has a piece of silk organza glued to the page first then Dylusion sprays were used with acrylic paint and allowed to drip. I sprinkled salt crystals onto the page before the paint was dry to get the spots. The mermaid was painted then coloured with pencils. The tail is PVA glue, heated with a glue gun (outside) and coloured with Golden Fluid acrylics and metallic rub on paints. In real life the tail is much lighter and golden but it didn't photograph very well.
I thought this was the final piece for Joynal but Jane has posted one more challenge for us so I will probably do that too.
Wow, I particularly like the work you have done on jane's course - I may just take a look if this is the sort of fabulous work you can achieve.
ReplyDeleteWonderful stuff :-)
Thanks Steve. I highly recommend Jane's courses. I have learned so much from her. I think it is because she always gives feedback on our work and that is the best way to learn and improve. Sometimes I even learn things from the feedback she gives others because I can see the same problems in my work too.
