It was a busy weekend, so I did not blog. Here are a pair of pear paintings on paper (could I fit in more words beginning with p?) from late last week. Neither of them really floats my boat. I need to work on setting up a better background and spending more time on that. Also, the pears could use a more visual variety with their values, but especially with their color(s). Oh well. Paint and learn!
Also, a friend cut up a 4' by 8' piece of hard board for me. Now I have lots of panels to paint on, in addition to paper. I'm really pleased. I can try out something on paper. If it's something that I might want to keep the next time, I can use hard board.
I go to Home Depot and they will cut the masonite for you. I frequently have pieces cut to size for frames I find at yard sales, etc. Then I can frame them if they are good. I love painting on masonite (hardboard). Cheap and easy to work on. I use a palette knife and you might like to also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion!
