Thinking about my painting efforts the past couple of days... and I am going to look around to see if anyone is doing classes in this technique in the Waikato.
I'm not happy with how it's going, even though I've only done three so far (this time around)... I'm just not getting the results I want.
So, I will go online later on today and see if there are any classes around.
It's worth doing, as I really LOVE doing the pours... they really are such fun.
Now, here's the third one, which I made yesterday:
The thing is, there's just SO MANY different ways to do Acrylic Pours! Swipes, Flip Cups, Dutch Pours, Colander Pours, String Pulls bla bla bla! The trick is to master at least ONE technique before trying something else. I keep bouncing around from one to the other, which is not helpful. 😒😓😕
Oh well... today is just a normal day, into the Studio and sewing till 2 pm.
Hopefully our visiting young person can self entertain while I'm busy.
ONWARD...
2.42 pm: Hello! Been a busy girl today. Made 5 Bowl Cosy's, had Kelly and the girls in to visit, then Bex and the boys popped in too.
Oh well... it was nice to see them all.
Right, it's time to relax and just watch some mindless TV. Home and Away from yesterday I reckon.
Dinner was Nachos. Which is Chilli Con Carne without the chilli. Cos the only thing I like HOT is Stew! 😆
It's only 9 pm and I'm struggling to stay awake! Not like me at all. I'm an owl... I virtually never go to bed before 11 - 11.30 pm.
But ... I probably will tonight. *smiles*
This latest painting looks "correct". Like the technique DID work. I wouldn't worry about the color scheme - you are still working on the technique and different people like different colors! But, if you can find a class - it sure would be FUN! This painting is a success - especially around the edges. Of course, somebody else will like the big center section - haha!
ReplyDeleteYou could google tips on YouTube for your paintings.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. Bright and uplifting. Kj
ReplyDeleteI agree - master one technique first but I also agree that you won't! Too exciting to try all the different methods.
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you have so many family members in close proximity! I am also rather envious that you can visit without fear of contracting a deadly disease.
ReplyDeleteDo any of the high schools in Hamilton have night classes? I've done some in the past for Photoshop and was very reasonably priced too.
ReplyDeleteChilli con carne?
