Hi Joan. Thank you for your comment. I absolutely enjoyed painting this Swan. One of our club members was given the task of getting as many members to do a small painting on a round piece of Canvas. They are for our Church that we rent our Rooms off for meetings. She will mount them onto a DVD disk for hanging on the Christmas tree at Christmas. One of the two that I have given her is of a Swan, that made me do a larger painting of this Swan. The Colours I used for the water Joan, are--Ultramarine Blue,Burnt sienna, Yellow Ochre and Tatanium White. My main trouble is experimenting with mixing to get those elusive Colours that we all want. Joan, you haven`t done any posting lately, come on now, get cracking. All the best my friend. Vic.
Oh! Joan, we all have them don`t we. I have certainly had my share of them. Thanks again my friend, and I hope I had something to do with you in getting cracking. All the best. Vic.
Yes you did post on my painting. I posted it twice, you were right it didn't need much work. But I did a little tweaking. As for the problem with unwanted followers, I don't know what to do. Someone left a message on my blog, and left other sites I could join. Let me tell you Vic, they weren't to nice. I also have followers that I can't seem to delete. I will continue to try to get to the bottom of this, there must be a way. You have a great day my friend.
Hi Joan. Thanks for your answer. It is a problem with these nasty blogs. I can`t understand Google allowing it, can you? I have written to them but it appears that they don`t answer anyone. I know of one other person that wrote three times and not one was answerd. One of my son`s is an IT engineer and he is trying to find an answer to this problem. Thanks again Joan and all the best my friend. Vic.
Thank you Karen for you comment. I do believe that most Artist`s make up their own interpritation of the subject. Whether it be from plein Air, or from a photograph. One might try to copy the Photo as close as possible, but at least as far as I am concerned, it ends up your own. I have just looked up you Blog Karen, and you sure have got the Colour and Drawing bits spot on. Wonderful paintings. I haven`t fully checked all on your Blog yet, so do you paint Land or sea Scapes as well? All the best Karen. Vic.
Karen. I`m so sorry about the bit where I asked you if you do Land or Seascapes as well, I was miles away thinking of someone else. please forgive me. I is something to do with my Age I think. Of course you paint brilliant Landscapes and am very glad that I have come across your Blog. Sorry again Karen, and all the best. Vic.
Hi Vic, what colors are you using for your water. Love the natural effect, not to blue. Nice work.

Hi Vic,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the colors, I will give the mixture a try on one of my recent paintings. One of those nasty artist slumps has been nipping at my heels.
I am off to my studio, in your words to "get cracking" Thank you so much Vic.
Have a great day. Oh by the way. I love your swan.

When I first looked at it, it was the water that I was admiring, so even better that you invented it. I also really like the composition here.
