thanks pepe, I really enjoyed doing it. I want to one similar, using moulding paste for the coral..hmm, maybe that should be my "prompt"....to start within the next 2 weeks !

this guys work just blows me away  http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=455950

Oh WOW !! his work is fantastic !  I'd love to try something like tyhat......on a small scale first LOL

missed your post bright...thanks

thanks for that link pepe, his work is wonderful  

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. 

I wouldn't go that far moonlight...but thanks.  I was happy with it.
