For AGES now - and I mean YEARS - I've wanted to sling some paint at a canvas and just see what happens.
So I did.
I had absolutely nothing to lose - the canvas was from the charity shop, and originally had a very dodgy "seascape" painted on it. (First job was covering said seascape with white paint!)
Then I donned an art shirt, covered all surfaces, opened the tubes of acrylic and let rip:
Loving it so far!
The next photo was taken at the "I just ruined it" phase:
And this is the "I think I must be finished soon" phase:
And with a few more tweaks, I finally finished:
(The light is a bit bright in the last photo - sorry).
There was a spare canvas (dodgy sunset, duly overpainted) - so the Girl had a go too!
She calls it "Caterwauling Cats"!
And in other news, there is now FOIL in the shop!
(Just blue/green for now - shall I do gold/silver/bronze next, or pinks and purples?!)
Looks great you should do some more!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! And I'm so pleased that someone else has the "I've just ruined it" phase, I really thought it was only me.
ReplyDeleteyes Lovely colours ...so yummy .....and the cats are fun too .....x
ReplyDeleteLove it at all it's stages. I keep having the urge to push paint round a canvas but I am just not brave enough!
ReplyDeleteJoanna.
Goods grief woman! This is fab (and the cats are pretty cool too!) And after all that sketch booking too. Now I feel ever so slightly inadequate!
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your painting! You're a natural, and I hope you keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThat design would make gorgeous fabric, too. :)
It's lovely and I agree about it making a gorgeous fabric!
ReplyDeleteso free and exuberant, lovely. I like the cats too, especially the way she has done the markings on the tabby cat.
ReplyDeleteBoth would look great hanging on a wall....well done girls :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm learning to embrace the 'I've just ruined it phase' - happens every time. I see it as a challenge now......
It looks good... and I love those cats.
ReplyDeleteLove the cats - thanks for commenting on my blog to keep fingers crossed - what do you think my plan is?? I am intrigued that you think you know what it is. do tell
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful - doesn't look ruined to me!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you enjoyed yourself!
