art thread?

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. 🙂

Hi Soul...I always thought "impasto" was a method of painting....using a palette knife and puttting it on thickly?

[tasfleur]

I've cropped it to just the canvas inside the frame. 

Couldn't even tell you what kind of paint it was, only that it was in tubes and there was no water or medium stuff, I just mixed white with everything and that's what happened ... :8}

nothing wrong with that Tas

It's not good though Kengillard, it's really just tossed onto the canvas, no light and shade knowledge and the paint was all jumbled, I still don't know whether it was oil or acrylic paint and I can't tell ..  :8}

I'm wondering if I should try the same thing again with these acrylic paints I have now?

Must get back to work though, I'll come back later xx

I like it tas.  Simple and it leaves the viewer to tell the story.

gil, yep you're right, it is a method of painting.  I think they called the medium
impasto" to give an idea of how it works ?  Anyway, if it's mixed with acylics it can be used "impasto"  and I love that style of painting.
