Bluebell Forest in acrylics

I have had this one printed out for a while to paint - love the tree in the foreground.   I used a few glazes of Transparent Red Oxide on the foreground tree which worked really well.

A few landscape aceo's in acrylics

I felt like painting a few landscape aceo's.  They were rather fun to paint - kept the path more or less the same  in each one and just changed the seasons and position of the trees.

Bluebell Forest in acrylics

I have been enjoying painting  acrylic landscapes lately so I decided to paint this lovely scene. I also painted a Summer Forest scene that I will post next week - I like to wait  about 10 days for the paint to cure before varnishing.

Bluebell Trail ACEO in acrylics

I changed this one a bit by adding in the Bluebells.  The reference photo was more a summer scene so I decided to add some colour by adding in the flowers.

Bluebell Path in watercolours

I haven't painted a bluebell scene for a while.  I changed this one quite a bit from the reference photo - I opened up the path and added in the trees. It was rather a fun one to paint.

As I type this, I can hear thunder so looks like we will have a storm this afternoon - temperature also has dropped a bit which makes for a nice change.

Bluebell Path measures 8 x 6 inches and is painted on 300gsm rough Arches watercolour paper.

Bluebell Woods in watercolours

I had fun painting this one.  Trying out a new watercolour paper - Daler - Rowney 'The Langton' NOT 300gsm watercolour paper.  I rather like it - easier to rub off the masking fluid and to lift the paint to lighten areas.  I can purchase this paper from my local art shop (provided they have stock) as oppose to driving around 30 minutes to an art store that stocks Arches paper.  Will so how it goes.

Bluebell Woods measures 14 x 11 inches and is painted on Daler-Rowney 'The Landton' NOT 300gsm watercolor paper.

Bluebell Forest ACEO in acrylics

I have painted quite a few larger paintings this week which I will blog about in the next week or so - just waiting for the paint to cure before I can varnish and list them.  So I needed a little break from detail and decided to paint a  couple of landscape ACEO's.  This is the first one.  It was rather fun to paint. 

Bluebell Forest measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches Watercolour paper.

Bluebells ACEO in acrylics

This was the last painting I painted before going on holiday - needed a break from the details of the birds.   Rather pleased how it turned out. Looking forward to painting again - need to go through my photos from my holiday and print some out that I can use as references.  The view from the Deloraine accommodation was lovely - overlooked farmland and a lake so will have to paint that scene.  Also, managed to get a good reference photo of the Richmond Bridge which I am already thinking about painting plus I can't wait to paint my Pink Robin and fairy wren.
