Learning to paint #3

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

Slowly getting there and finding styles I like. I picked two tutorials, cactus sunrise and a northern lights sky. Pleased with both but instantly wanted to do the northern lights one again and have been this last weekend. Second attempt was much better! but will be on the next post. Turns out my next cactus one was pretty good too, but it all has to start somewhere.

I also wanted to see if I could recreate one of my own sunset photographs. The one I chose I have as a set of coasters so could put it in front of me to paint. Not quite exact, but I’m happy with the results.

Learning to paint #2

I am thoroughly enjoying painting now and kind of wish I had found it years ago, feeling as if I have missed 20 years of something great. But I am making up for it with all evenings and weekends now taken up with painting. There is a lot more to it than I realised.

I keep switching between finding tutorials on YouTube and trying to use my own imagination. Above is imagination and below is tutorial.

At first I also switched between watercolours one weekend and acrylics the next (below). Liking both, but have settled on watercolours for now.

I spent time looking at this painting growing up as it was on the wall at my grandparents. It impressed on me as you would say. So years later when they asked if there were any ornaments or art I would like to have, I picked this one and a few others.

My eyes enjoy this painting very much. It’s done with an airbrush (I think) and the artist tag is Medina. That is all I know.

Kats Cards

I used to make cards for friends and family for Christmas and birthdays and everyone always seemed to love them.

So after a few years of no longer having anyone to make cards for I decided to see if anyone out there might like them 😁

I brought some new coloured card having previously only used red, blue, green and pale lilac. I use my hand drawn art to print on the card, then I add the extra touches by hand. Once I have a set completed, then I will post the finished product. Getting the reflective silver and gold to shimmer in the photographs isn’t working out so well yet.

The sun stood high. The shadow from the parasol and the sunglasses gave the perfect hiding place. Tits and booties all over. Johnny laid back and enjoyed. Finally a day off. He closed his eyes, breath in the fresh sea air. “Can you please help me put some sun block on my back?” the beautiful woman by his side said. “Sure,” he answered, started smearing it out. “A bit lower down, please… Lower… lower… mmmmmmhh… (more)
