I hate to say that it was inevitable! Me! Doing stuff with colours?!? I ask you!! PIGMENT!!!??? It's not that I feel inhibited by graphite, in fact I find the challenge all the better for not having colour in my creative world. I don't feel deprived at all and colour has always given me problems........ So wot is this need to........ Yeurgh!! Paint!!!!!!!???????? Maybe it's a natural progression.... some kind of transitional thing?? I was looking at some of Steph Law's watercolours, and along with admiration and awe, I suppose there was a slight jealousy....... though I know I'll never be in the same league as Steph, I actually went out and baught a book on "Watercolour Fairies" with a number of Steph's wonderful paintings as illustrations. This painting, and those that follow, were not meant to be 'finished' or 'real' paintings and at the time I was just going to experiment and see what happened. Experiment 1.1 went into the bin...... it was dire ;^( I use what I call a 'Splosh'n'Skribble' technique. I first have a vague outline of what I want, I then load the paper up with different splodges of hue and then when it has all dried out I draw the detail onto the paint with pencil and .........you get what you see below. |
