Imaginery birds at the Marina

[JennieJo]

This is a work that didn't work, so Ive just become increasingly experimental in media and concepts of the birds I had wanted to paint.

I'm enjoying putting pastel into dry to touch oils.

1. Acrylic 2. Oil paint 3. Soft pastel

What a beautiful, ethereal image and it's so interesting how you layered the media. You have such a unique style!

 

[Terri]

It sure looks like it worked! I love your flowing birds. It would be fun to see this up close to appreciate the different media. Fun stuff!!

So lovely, JennieJo!

Thanks so much. Top right corner needs work, that's where I'm going next. I am always how I think differently about what to do next depending upon what I have in my hand.

You know my stuff always looks messy. Be prepared. I'll take a couple of some sections.

Many many thanks. I tried very hard, probably too hard, to create my desired image. Then I said ... you know *** it, and did the thing I wasn't allowing myself to do. It was pretty terrible before I did this step. Perhaps this is why it takes me 10 years to finish some paintings! This one is almost 4 years old.

Took a few closeups Terri. Still working on top right so left that bit out

Thank you for the closeups! I love being able to look in like this. Your marks and lines are wonderful - and this palette is incredibly colorful.

It did go "WHAT" after I'd put the orange. Then I did 2 more in the same colour. I'll look for my planning sketch. There is very little resemblance.
