The Next Sketch Is

[john]

It's eventually going to get two sandpipers walking along with long sunset shadows. Not that I'm stalling because I'm not sure I can paint sandpipers or nothing like that.

 

[PaintBoss]

Lol i’m not stalling either! We both can do it. We have to stop staring at our work and go for it! It looks great so far it’s gonna look fabulous when it’s done.

It’s so nice to see all of your WIPs! I love the look of unfinished work, sometimes more than the finished pieces. Weird, I know, but there something special about them.

 

[txomsy]

Me too. I think it is their openness: knowing they are unfinished leaves your imagination free to dream how it might end and that makes it more versatile, plus you'll imagine what you'd like, the finished work does not leave this room and may or may not match your taste.

 

[Artyczar]

I too like the look of unfinished work. I like the thought of the unfinished giving you pending, potential affinity (or not). That's pretty funny.

Love your beach John. You do water very well!

 

[Grapes]

John, what is the 'Next sketch'?

 

[john]

Oh, I guess the next sketch is ....how about......something with a tree in it.

 

[PaintBoss]

Here is my incomplete painting that I’ve been working on very hit and miss because it takes a lot of stamina to sit and paint this. It’s going through changes. Where I’m at today I have a few different directions I can go as far as background. Do I keep a little bit of the bush behind it or do I put water behind it with far off forest in the background? Anyways, here are some trees and rocks!
Next, your choice.
Before:
Today:

 

[Sanlynn]

A quick watercolour sketch.
Next: your choice again.

 

[Grapes]

This small oil painting study had the subject to practice keeping the hue same.

Next: more painting/art materials

 

[Artyczar]

I don't know if this is a good "art materials," but I use them a lot. And it's more of a drawing than it is a painting.

Next: something you love.

 

[PaintBoss]

That sure does count Arty. Nice job on that.
Grapes nice job on your painting as well. Nice to see you around. I don’t know. I seem to have missed you for a while. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places.
My nephews.

Next… More of what you love.

 

[Grapes]

I could say I love the person who gave me these roses it's an oil painting sketch from life. Christine, "Hello" my girl friend! I was away for a while, just exhausted and quite stuck with painting but catching up the forum now.
I hope this painting qualifies for the subject.

Next: something you are addicted to

 

[Artyczar]

Next: something else you're addicted to.

 

[Grapes]

Arty, lol that's nice!

Here's something I have complete addiction to, can't stay apart, can't go away or leave her.

Next: your choice

 

[Sanlynn]

Next: more trees.

 

[PaintBoss]

You have the colour and life in the trees and the forest that reminds me very much of the late Emily Carr. A renowned artist in Canada, who lived on the West Coast. She had an incredible life story and she was just as talented writing. She had a hard life- poor. But she chose it. She walked away from a traditional lifestyle and was an original, especially for a woman at that time.

 

[Donna T]

Yes, that’s very Emily Carr-ish. Gorgeous painting, Sanlynn!

 

[Sanlynn]

Thanks, PB and Donna. It was acrylic painted on copper leaf which are both new to me.
