Post YOUR artwork here, cmon !!

[Satonic]

The one done with the knife is fucking brilliant! I think it may even be my favourite from you so far

[nigelandjan]

Thanks mate glad you liked it

BUT TBH its only very small its no big deal , its on one of those tiny little cheap canvas boards I got hold of.

I really only use these to teach myself as I seem to learn something new every time I have a go ,, also I hope it helps others on here and to give them some ideas to go forward with .

Having said that mate as you realy seem to like it I will bring it along with me for you with your egg poacher and whats left of your sweets ( after my long journey )

Would make a nice beer mat for you

[Satonic]

Leave my sweets alone!

And that would be really nice mate, cheers

[nigelandjan]

You been pm,n Dill Charlie ?

Had an idea this week during the boredom of work ,, saw this old bit of a broken slab in a hardcore bay ,



[/URL][/IMG]


Covered it in black gesso to see if it could be painted on ,, now I know its a crap picture as its just something I pulled out my head ,, but also the shape of the bit is not really much good ,, just to show it can be painted on and if it had a nice pic on it could be built into an outside wall as a bit of a feature .

I think I will gesso over this again and look for a nice mountain pic to work on next week .

Happy painting

[nigelandjan]

Been sorting out a few oldies and the last time I was in Florida I painted this little place which was over the way from the villa we had .

I,m bringing this along with me when I come over next along with a few other ones for my friend Ralph ,, I hope it will give him a few happy memories of his home land .

That's quite interesting mate, I tried painting a house one time, but it didn't work out.

Often my problem is trying to paint every single details instead of reducing and focusing on the 'essence' of the picture.

[nigelandjan]

For sure , essentially the house is just white paper defined by a few pale lines + a little bit of shadow .

This kinda American cladding style is becoming popular over here now in the UK ,,

Was out with some Thai / farang husband friends on Saturday ,, took em to London went to the National Gallery amongst other things ,, apparently the Thais loved anything with a waterfall in it . so they are having all my old waterfall pics and I just done another one tonight for them .

[nigelandjan]

Had a great day out today in Thaxted mabe do a little mini thread about it ,, just have to get me pencil 4B and sketchpad out to have a go at some of these lovely old buildings ,, mabe do a line + wash of this later

[nigelandjan]

You remember that little picture I did on the West Coast of Lanzarote ,, well I got asked to do a bigger one on a box canvas for someone , I,ve shown him a photo of it and he is overjoyed , he will be even more pleased when he see,s it in the real

I have painted this on a 1.25" deep 3D box canvas , then I have made a box frame to sit it in ,, it looks really nice against a dark wallpaper behind it .

Job done

[nigelandjan]

Sorry I should have added an important point ,, because it went into landscape format it was completely unbalanced and I struggled for a while to correct it , so I came up with some rocks in the left foreground + the big one on the L/H side I created shadow + a shaft of piercing light from behind it .

[Marmite the Dog]

Yet another good job, Nige.

[nigelandjan]

Thanks for leaving the comment MTD , allways nice to see someone appreciates the efforts
