Hi all -
Hope you have had a good week. We have been busy, but not too much that I couldn't get some sketching done. The painting aspect for me is on a back burner at the moment. I've works in at a couple of Galleries at the moment....the walls here in the studio are looking a little bare! Not that I mind as it has been an opportunity to do some little sketches and drawings - plus reading blogs!
Yesterday was the turn of a small Seascape....just playing with an idea initially in a sketchbook
and then changing it a bit onto postcard size watercolour paper 6" x 4"
Mixed media as I used white gouche for the splashes of the waves..
Loose - quick - simple and
most of all fun to do
I'm Linking to
PAINT PARTY FRIDAY
today
with Thanks to
EVA & Kristin for hosting
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ALL

Wow what wonderful waves!
I love the mixed media one!
Beautiful work!
Best regards!
simple but very effective!
Lovely seascape, I love all the different shades you have incorporated in your painting which give it depth and movement
Love them both, Ann! You certainly capture the feel of the sea.
That is just amazing. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
I love this one Ann, love seascapes.
Wow! I love the way you captured the waves with just a few, but very effective strokes. Blessings!
OMGosh, I love this. The ocean is so difficult to make those specific waves do what you want them to. . . Splendid painting. Blessings, Janet PPF
Lovely movement in the waves Ann and great watery sea colours. Something I haven't tried yet as it looks pretty tricky to me.
fab!

Beautiful painting, love the movement and energy in it!
Great movement and texture in the waves you've captured! I love waves and think they're a bit difficult and you've done beautifully! Happy PPF!
Thanks Giggles :)

Thanks Robert:)

Thanks so much :)
Thanks Pat, I find the sea quite simple and quick to paint, after all it looks so different all the time doesn't it :)
Thanks Molly :)
Thanks Christine :)
You sum it up Arnoldo "a few strokes" is all it was. :)
Lovely and fluid work ~ excellent seas ^_^
Aww, give it a go...Top Tip: Prepare the paint first, then splosh it on the paper in wave shapes, the bigger the brush the better...Go on, like I said, give it a go :)
Hi Laura, No this isn't tricky at all. Like I said to Janet (JKW) Prepare paint - big brush and away you go.
Many thanks Susi :)
Lots of movement. Job well done.:) Happy PPF!
Thanks so much :)
Thanks Dianne, not difficult at all, in fact I think you get a lot of freedom painting them....just paint like your brush is a wave. Perhaps I should do a video of this to show how I go about it?
loving your terrific waves. Happy PPF, Annette x

Un placer visitar su blog, las últimas imágenes del mar están bellamente logradas, y que buena idea la de dibujar con tinta y luego arrastrar la tinta con agua, trataré de probar me parece muy interesante, gracias por compartir
Luv the serenity of this soft and delicate seascape.Makes me long the sea ; ) Lovely work.
Thanks Beatriz :)
Thanks Annabelle :)
