Jennette,
ReplyDeleteI'm not telling you anything new, but my God you have the most amazing art work. They are intense, the drama big as life, you can feel the water, the waves as they crash. Yet very contemporary. Truly beautiful!
Thank you,
elle
Thank you very much. It's good to know when I'm struggling away in the studio!
ReplyDeleteI'm studying your 'seascape' work for my art exam at AS-level, I love the colours and shapes in your work and how you make the paint just work to make it look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working from photos of the 'Black Beach' in Iceland and your way of working seems to work with the rough waves on the rocks, the contrast of dark on the white wave break comes through brilliantly in acrylics.
I have to admit if it wasn't for your work, my art exam pieces would be utterly uninspired right now!
Thank you!!
Thank you Chloe. You really need to get out of doors and make some paintings and I hope you're doing lots of drawing!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's just not the same working from a photo. You don't get a sense of the movement and changes in light. You can't smell and feel the sea. Photos are just too static and 2 dimensional. I use oils rather than acrylic paint (acrylics dry too fast and don't have the subtly of oil paints).
Good luck with your AS art exam.
