I like this. How did you do the foliage?
Wow I like the more intense glow you have from the sun's effect and that looser brush work realy works. I also like the added intrest of the people and birds. They are just there enjoying the subject THE BEACH.

Using oils Summer. Worked the painting from back to front using the darks and brights (esspecially the bright blue) and lights to block in the background. I did this so I had the light source in the picture before I did any tree detail. Then block...

Jeni Smith said… - 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, 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
