This is my progress of Smudge since my last blog entry...about 4 and 1/2 hours of painting so far. I am pleased with my progress considering how busy I've been with other things!
It's been cold around here again and we had at least 2 inches of snow yesterday. I'm looking forward to Spring!
It's going to be a short post today, so much to do and little time to do it in!

I love how you've captured the whiskers! It is so much fun to see paintings in progress, I love seeing how artists work. Nice to "meet" you, I'm one of the fellow fishies in the ecourse. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amber,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment - I made a conscious decision when I started this painting that I'd track my progress. I often get asked how long a painting takes and I always forget!
It's good to 'meet' you too - I'm really looking forward to getting to know every one as the e-course progresses. It's my first ever e-course so I don't quite know what to expect! :)
Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI am loving this painting absolutely stunning! What medium do you use? I notice you combine photography into your paintings - is it with a computer or collage? It's nice to meet you I am a fellow fishie :)
Thank you! I use Chromacolour, a paint which can be used like many types of medium. I use it like acrylic and build layers of texture up, dark to light (the opposite to what people think!)
ReplyDeleteI take photographs and put them onto my computer and use Photoshop to layer my paintings over/into my photographs. It's a technique I started to do whilst studying Illustration at Uni and it's stuck! I love it because it allows for so many things to be explored. It's great to meet you too - I'm still working on the first set of questions but it's great to finally know what questions you should be asking yourself! :)
Hey, Kate! I am in the fish bowl e-course with you! I am glad you answered Ivy's question because I was wondering the same thing! I wanted to pop in and meet you....check and your blog. I really like it here. The cat is fabulous! Makes me want to go home and create a painting of our cat...Princess PiCATso! See you in class! Kim
