art thread?

[moonlyte]

Hi folks. I've just bought a box of coloured pencils, and will be working on my first drawing soon. I'll post the completed work here. Would love people to post their art here for us to see. Doesn't matter what type of art - drawing, painting, photos/photo manipulation, cake decorating, quilting, poetry, origami, whatever. Let's have some fun and show our creativity. 🙂

More great pieces !!

Moonlight, I don't have any new pics on the computer since the last art thread...so most have seen what pics I do have.  I'll put one up but don't want to bore people who have seen the pics already.

I wasn't aware that there was another art thread. Do you have a link to it? Thanks. 🙂

umm, you're talking to an illiterate techno here LOL

I did post one pic ^^^up there of an underwater scene.  The last thread was awhile ago umm, 6 months or so I think.  This thread is much better, more epople posting etc.

did you buy the pastels yet ?

Moonlight that's so exciting all the paint products you've brought and it's great that you are

going to branch out into pastels and acrylics, two mediums that I love. A suggestion is to get the 

chalk pastels not the oil, as you can mix them on the paper more easily, and use pastel paper that has a rough side.  Also get a can of Working Fixative I think it's called which you spray on every so often to stop the powder from falling everywhere 

I hope you don't mind this 'lecture' but I have taught art and just  can't help myself, lol. 

Thanks for the info. I saw a basic 10 or 12 colour pastel(I think oil) set at OW, so I will get that today when I go to buy bigger sketch books. I'll use that first and see how I go. OW has very limited paint sets, so I might have to buy better quality stuff from an art shop.

Who can remember pics from 6 months ago? Please post them here, so that we can have a look. If people have seen them before, and are bored with seeing them again, it's not like they can complain to eBay for being bored.

I am going to pick up the pastels, amongst other things at OW today.

If you have a cheapie shop near by, they ususally have a range of monte marte supplies which are fine and quite cheap.  or bunnings have art stuff too.

not a great pic....it was done in oil.

This is a brilliant masterpiece.
