Thanks so much, Sanlynn!
Well, Grapes- your encouragement means a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it, Jade!
Thank you, Donna! The trick is to use videos that are high-res and then give enough visual info to get a good composition.
Summer is on its way here in Australia, so I thought I would paint a scene to celebrate.
The inspo for this is I have been watching a lot of surfing videos- women on longboards. So the references I used are stills from the videos.
oil on canvas 45cm x 75cm (18 x 30 inches)
This is great- I too love birds!
I have just completed a series of Australian bird paintings with inks and watercolours. As an oil painter- I found it challenging, but loved the end result.
I love them all. It appeals to the people-watching tendencies in me!
I like the way that you have curated the shots. They tell a story of the place and human activities. The kids with the bubble and the group with walking sticks and wheelchair are exceptional. Beautiful compositions captured!
