Just love how the boats "pop" and are the focus of the painting.

I think the spotlight effect worked because it is certainly the first boat you see. If you put too much more on the blue boat it will detract from your desired effect. Thats my pennies worth anyway!!

Hi Dianne, thank you so much for your comments - I sort of agree with you about the splotches except when I make them ha ha I enjoy so much the putting down of paint and get extraordinarily frustrated when it will not do what i hope and I do not know what to do about it. when I do splotches there are lots less expectations so get some pleasure out of it - if that makes any sense at all but yes I will certainly continue with the other style as well- went to workshop hoping to learn something about freedom of expression and paint application and certainly got that
but not quite in the way I expected. I so admire your strong colours and lovely simple composition - what do you use - acrylic ?

Hi Dianne I really look forward to having enough hours also and more hours to paint - I hope you find illusions and enjoy it. Jeni

Hi Dianne, yes I do intend to do some more workshops in Whangarei this year. I'm doing a couple in Queenstown next week and was waiting to see how I felt about those before I booked anything in after that. Perhaps if you give me a call in a few weeks you'll be able to prod me into action. I don't have any specific lessons yet on brushwork or the painterly effect, but I can give you some tips in a workshop. My short advice would be to do a smaller painting while emulating the style of a very painterly artist - use larger brushes, more paint, stand further back, keep stepping back from your painting, squint at your subject (not your painting) and paint what you see when you squint, use a palette knife, your fingers and rags, be daring, focus, and put on some Vivaldi.
Hopefully see you soon,
Richard
