The finished piece. That's after fiddling around for a bit but I think I'm finally happy with it.
Added touches of quinacridone gold, quin. burnt scarlet and quin. deep gold. The green I used was serpentine genuine, from Dan Smiths,in fact all these paints are from Dan Smiths. The serpentine is a Primatek paint made with minerals, and has a brownish after glow perfect for these dying fronds.
Here's an interesting link about these paints.
Hmmm. what next?
WOW this is so beautiful Claire, can't wait to see what you do next :)x
ReplyDeleteClaire, it's beautiful!! You have such a delicate hand with your paintings and the colours are perfect. I want Daniel Smith paints now too (not that I don't have enough!). Well done! How about something seasonal? x Shevaun

Really amazing,wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous piece of work Claire, love it. I like that you spot things on the roadside, not just me. The toadstools are a great subject but you have to work quickly before they go off. How big is the paper ? I love your fine attention to detail and your work is so beautifully neat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Milly, Its quite a big piece ,approx. 20 by 16"ish. Yes you do have to work quickly , good for self discipline!
ReplyDeleteClaire, This has an almost magical look to it, with the delicate fern frond dancing in the background--gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Janene xxx I love that.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the final assignments xx
