Hi Culvin,
I've just seen your picture. You have some interesting effects there. How did you do it? Is it watercolour or inks? |
|
By:
Have just finished another expressionist industrial landscape from early last century. Essentially monochrome although the colour was produced by a blend of Prussian blue, magenta and various amounts of white.
I promise that the next will be more colourful.  |

Sorry , Foinavon , I didn't realise you asked me a question. I've not been well so I've not been here for a month or so . The painting technique or style is called Fluid Art . Acrylic paint is mixed with water and then poured onto a canvas . The canvas is then lifted up and moved around so that the fluid paint runs were you direct it to run . I also applied some of the paint with a brush , my fingers and a straw . It took about 40 mins or so to complete . The finished painting is nothing like the original I did though , because as I mentioned to trilby22 , what I painted is unrecognisable , because when I was cycling home from the gallery , a gust of wind blew the bl00dy thing off my bike . When I got home and looked at it , it had completely changed . I like what it turned into though , it's far better than what I painted .. Here's two others I've now done. I did these at home. All Best ,Foin .

I'd like to have a go at doing other stuff . If I do I'll put it here , if that's ok .

I like them Culvin and would like to see anything else you do so put them here. I've just started a watercolour where I put heavy washes onto wet paper and let them flow into each other. I'm going to add some positive strokes wet on dry in a few days time and will post the result here.

This is the result of the watercolour washes, Culvin. It's colourful but lacks meaning. I'm going to work it up into a painting when I'm ready or ruin it completely but at the moment it suggests a stormy seascape. We'll see.
The first one you posted yesterday suggests a shark in a coral sea, don't know what to make of the other.  |

I think Culvin has a future in the fashion industry.
Looking forward to your further work, Foinavon.  |

Thanks Jack.

I like your Watercolour wash . It has a Northern Lights look about it .
|

By:
Jack , not sure if your fashion industry comment is a compliment or not . All I know is that I'm having a go and going with my instinct .. I hated almost everything at school , including art . It was all about copy this , copy that . Anyway here's another I've just done . I don't much care for this one .Thanks for comment anyway , Jack .

It has depth to it, reminds me of sea monsters. Have you tried using a spinner? You can get some colourful effects with those.
|
|
By:
Culvin, it most certainly was a compliment. I could easily see those patterns on a summer dress - particularly the second one.
The colours you used remind me of the Pre-Raphaelites. |
|
By:
I haven’t looked at this thread in ages. I really like your Gas Street Basin painting, Foinavon.
Culvin, I love your artwork! I particularly like the colours of the one you posted at 15.01 |

By:
Thanks MD, I like painting cityscapes.
|
|
By:
I've now slapped on some Prussian blue to turn the washes into an expressionistic painting reminiscent of Nolde.
Have I improved it or ruined it? A matter of opinion.  |
|
By:
Foinavon , It's dark and moody . I don't need dark and moody in my life , at the moment , but I like it ,.

Makybe_Diva , Thank you so much for your comment .

I came across an artist I'd never even heard of who is instantly one of my favourite artists:
"John Atkinson Grimshaw". Google it, lots of night scenes but he captures them .. perfectly. |
|
By:
I love his paintings of the docks in Liverpool . I bought a poster for my Father , a year ago . He framed it and placed it on the living room wall . I'll post a pic tomorrow .

The painting was spontaneous Culvin, and expresses a transitory mood at the time. In painting there is no light without dark, a white sheet is perfectly bland. Anyone who loves a bet (I'm preaching to the converted here) knows that joy and anguish are complementary, a wealthy person can not bet in £2 units as he experiences neither.
Grimshaw's paintings are lovely and serene, not an ounce of angst as you might find in Goya or Munch but still required a lot of skill and patience to achieve. |

A brightly coloured anodyne painting this time which might hopefully cheer you up Culvin.
This isn't just inspired by Nolde, it is a near copy of one of his works. I used watercolour and gouache paints in primary colours on 600 gsm paper for this.  |
