Evolution of a Painting

I can't believe it's a month since my last post, I really am finding blogging hard to do at the moment and I don't think it is due to lack of time, it is more to do with lack of motivation. Therefore I thought I would try and ease myself back in slowly with a mainly visual post on one of the paintings that I started on the Bloom True e course.


This was the first of many layers, the paint was applied freely trying to let the paint find it's own way.





Adding glazes with fluid acrylics, which I have never used before.


At this point I decided to put this painting to one side it doesn't feel finished yet but I just feel a bit stuck.
There is quite a lot of etching in this painting so I took a few close up shots.





I am working on three paintings at the moment they are all 90cm x 90cm which is quite large for me, however I feel I would like to paint even larger.

      Thanks Claire, I really like my blog so I hope I can keep it going. I loved the e course it was incredible fun, but I have some catching up to do as I haven't finished my paintings yet.

    Gorgeous! Love the little rich jewel droplets. They draw close to peek at the detail within.

    Ah, Sandra, snap! I have found blogging very hard this summer - I like being outside too much!
    Great work as usual. I especially like the last image with its beautiful sea green and vivid red.

      Lots happening recently, see my most recent post. The painting in this post is one of the three large paintings that is now finished, and it has evolved even further. I will do a post soon when I can manage to get some decent photographs, hope your painting is going well also :)
