That's very impressive, especially the first one, love the colours. Something like that on the wall will just brighten up any room.
Abstract was my suggestion half jokingly when you first started, anyway I kn ow stuff all about art. I gave up on paintings when I was completely underwhelmed viewing the Mona Lisa.
Well done indeedy.
Dear boy I think everyone was rendered speechless by the way you captured your subject.Quote:

I have printed a copy and Matron says if I take my medication tonight without the need for restraints, I can put it up on the wall.
actually you directed that towards JJ....not Norties..Quote:

Jaunty tits on her.
Good effort, Noony. I've not painted for years as music was my medium for so long, but it would be interesting to see how much of a mess of it I would make if I attempted to paint again. Think I'll stick to photography...
this last one was inspired, not quite downright copied from a lesson on youtube by an abstract artist.
youtube rocks.
hope they don't close it.
Nice effort. I like a bit of painting myself and have just finished painting my little cabin in the rice fields. It's made from lolly sticks, chopsticks and toothpicks, so I are not quite in the same league as you, but it was fun none the less.
err, thanks but I don't think we go much lower than the Pontins South West Division 9Quote:

The chicks are interesting. A derivation of Modigliani but with eyes aand triangular faces. The second chick looks a bit cross-eyed. Nice bold strokes tho. Not keen on the Chinese ink - it's very flat-looking.
Not really into art but impressed by the effort - just don't get too fekin good 'cos I reckon it bloody hurts when you cut an ear off!
Well done !!
:)
I like this stuff nooners, but to develop you need to think a bit less 'Matisse' (one of my faves) and sit back and consider your colour combinations.
If you were to silk screen prints of the originals I'd say they'd be of Warhol quality.
Greens for you good sir......... i thinkQuote:

Most abstract painters, including the likes of Picasso and Mondrian etc, started out painting figurative works, they actually learnt to draw and paint properly and well, they learnt techniques and slowly developed their own recognisable style
you seem to have jumped in at the deep end, a bit like those elephants that paint in that camp up the road
^ Yep. Years of doing lines, proportion, colour charts. And then you still don't make much money even when you move to abstract.
I like them Nooners, you've definitely got talent and if you put in the hard work I think you can get really good.
Great thing to do with your time, too. Respect (and some envy).
Well, it's a nude woman. :)Quote:

Jet is right about the chinese ink looking a bit flat...it's just a lot easier and quicker to sketch with and I've always been able to sketch quite well.
this is just the first time I've ever tried painting anything.
I have another larger one on the go.
i got my wife to take a pic of me slumped over the kitchen table and I'm trying to draw it in a bar setting off the top of my head, but i can barely remember what the inside of a bar looks like...(pious smug grin)
it's a bit of a mess at the moment but it's fun to try.

Excellent work there, Nooners.
Did you base your style on any other famous artist?

In school art class we spent 2 years trying to go from black to white in 10 even shades and the tutor was never happy, never got to actually paint anything!:(
