This one I originally intended to have more in it, but once the sky and golden field were completed, I had to stop. I really like it as it is.

Turns out I needed a bit more shimmery sparkle yesterday. Bold and starry was the way forward.

Felt like a bit of colourful shimmery painting today. Bringing a bit of bright to a dreary day.

Nature is still my inspiration at the moment. And liking a bit of sparkle too (which doesn’t come out so good in photos). Trying new trees this time, free hand so it’s a bit worrying at first thinking I’ll make a mistake. Or as Bob Ross would say, happy little accidents. Because they can be corrected or sometimes it helps the painting take a different turn.

When I draw it tends to be very ordered and symmetrical, although not perfect because I do them by hand. But I love those slight imperfections. Painting is a whole different ball game. Not working to strict lines has been a challenge but a good one.

It continues. I have some metallic acrylic paint too so had an experiment with that.

I love the boldness of the colours, but still need to get the hang of stars. Splattering paint looks easy but…

I thought this one was a right off, until I added the metallic overlay and attempted my first palm tree. I was really chuffed with it in the end. It seems to be the pieces I think I have ruined, I then relax and don’t worry about ruining it! I need to be more confident it will turn out ok.

Continuing with watercolours I redid the cactus and night sky ones, choosing to do different colour combinations to see what works best.




And as I like a bit of sparkle, got a bit distracted by the metallic paints ๐ I’m not sure which one is my favourite because I love them all.


Now I’m back on the acrylics to see what I can do with these effects in different paints.
