More progress with the little Golden Kit
I finally did master a pear shape or two...and I've continued working through the book, a couple of the ideas didn't translate well here, and I've missed out one, but will come back to it as I need to decide what substrate to use.
I restratched into the paint, before it totally dried, so vague outline of PEAR
nothing truly went right here, so I just layered paint on and now it's happier. It was supposed to be a landscape!
Seascape and it worked well (there are two, rather similar)
excess paint got onto more soft card (200grm) x A4 and I love the effect of the layering
Yep, managed a PEAR but this actually not right. I've since found out I did the "ground" wrong, so another one is underway. But even with the wrongness, it's still okay if you don't look into it too deeply!
Today's PEAR - yep there is a pear in there, a art friend has said "it's a juicy one"
It's a way to make a watercolour with acrylic paints and a special "ground base" (still wet)

Catherine in NZ, where Level 2 is nearly upon us but for me, that doesn't mean much of a change

It's interesting that somewhere in the last 10 days or so, my mindset has almost completely changed. I don't even want to be out there in the wide world much. I'm loving pottering around with art, food, and occasional gentle walkabouts.
you just have a WAY with color that's beautiful.
and I love what you said... " my mindset has almost completely changed. I don't even want to be out there in the wide world much."
that's exactly how I feel. and there's a wonderful liberation in it!
it's definitely a good place to mentally be in. I can relax and be totally happy. xo
I took off yesterday afternoon, hardly a soul around, the houses that had been open to view inside, now closed up with curtains - work I assume. Suddenly, a woman caught up with me, on the very wide walkway that I've been using. She was off to get a hot cross bun at the local strip stops that sometime I visit with - so instead of turning down another street we continued along. I thought she was home alone, then discovered husband there...
When we got to that bakery place, I decided that the craving treat I wanted was actually from the Mom/Pop cafe and maybe I would make it before they close (lots of retailers open shorter hours) So I got the treat, and yep it was very nice...
But at the bus station - the 2 metre rule gone out the door! I was talking to a man and we each sat on the end of the long bench...when along comes a dope who plonked herself in the bit in the middle!
I've analysed that trip and no I don't need either that treat, nor the dopes!
I'm going to stick to the back streets...and avoid as much as possible having to deal with the 2 metre rule, and for that matter spending money...I know Walking Is Much Better For Me Anyway :-)
the things I also wanted...will just have to wait. Hair is just plain funky looking, so be it...
Still working with the booklet, will show ya all later the objects that are drying...
