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. 🙂

Good Amy - that is good, just relax and get over the getting over you need to get over after helping the OH get over the man flu

lol.

Tas- your painting is great

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}

you need to realize not every painting needs to be a technical perfect

expert light and shade etc would take away the charm of that piece.

i'm not explaining myself very well but i know what i mean even if nobody else does  :^O

I bought a new camera from Deals Direct last week...still waiting impatiently for delivery.  It's a Sanyo and I think it will do the job I need it to.

Oh good ! I'll look forward to it, you'll have to give me some tips on using water colours, like I said I'm really hopeless....don't think I'm gentle enough LOL

[kengillard]

yep soul.   water colours do take a lot of self control.  no splashing paint about...depending on what you're doing of course.

I know you are right Pepe;  I think it's just me wanting to get art looking like art .. and yet, I don't even know what getting it right is other than the outcomes others look for ...  :8}   Love your teddy artwork, it's really is so very good.

Can't wait to see yours Kengillard, hope that camera arrives very soon.
