Chimenea

After the two attempts at painting the bowl of flowers, I moved onto another subject that I've wanted to paint for quite a while now - A chimenea in my parents' garden. Heres the photo I'm using as reference:

The painting turned out to be one that I enjoyed the most and I'm really happy with the results. It's in the picture framers as we speak... Really like the flowers and background and the chimenea itself. The bushes on the left are ok I s'pose..

Thanks for reading, see you again soon. There should be another three similarly styled paintings coming up over the next few weeks.

Update to Circular Flower Bed - Ink Pen

I decided to try adding fine waterproof pen to the circular flower bed painting I posted last time. I scanned the painting (as it was A4) and printed it on glossy photo paper and onto this print I added the waterproof pen. The majority of the pen used was 0.1mm with a few thicker lines using a 0.4mm. I do like the end result - the painting was always intended to be a pen and wash, so I will go ahead and apply the pen onto the original painting. It was good to have a practise run and I think I have learnt a couple of things from this trial run.

Hope you like the pen and wash, thanks for reading and I'll see you next time.
