two pictures I attempted to paint.

A little primitive, but you are getting there.  Are you going to be realist or abstract?

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Given the definition of the two types of painting I would like realistic painting.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

You've made a good start.  Just work on your ability to see things as they really are.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Thank you. its hard getting it from my brain to paper but i am trying.

I just got a table for my room to paint so I'm going to try and get things set up again.

I kinda put stuff away after my boyfriend broke up with me couldn't get myself to start painting again.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Paint something with yellows and reds.  It avoids the blues.

Looks good. I love to pencil sketch, I drew a skyline of Seattle, WA it is in my room. I'd like to share with you!

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Id like to see it...

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Munchiez: I would love to see your picture.

that would be cool to see.

Deciduous trees need more attention to detail, lower branches, etc.  But you have a good eye for the scenery.  Looks like very early group of 7

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

I looked that up. thanks..

 

I am working on another chalk drawing trying to learn how to use them. I kinda hate chalk really not very easy to work with and get good details. trying to keep the oil painting down for now till I can save some money to get more of my blue and white paint.

 

I'll post an update next time I am at the library unless I can get my mobil phone to work right.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

When you say chalk do you mean "blackboard" chalk or pastels?

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

pastels... I have never used them before so it's been a challenge to learn to use them now. I got one set of colors from wal mart and another set of colors from Joe Ann Fabrics.

 

I have got the sky done on my next picture. I am trying to figure out how to do the mountians.. I don't want snow on mine. In my eyes minds I see them with brown hues and green at the bottoms indicating trees.. Printed out some pictures I hope will help me.

 

the chalk I have is not a soft chalk its kinda hard. seems harder to use.. wish I had the money for my paints would be very nice.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

You may want to use a rolled up white blotting paper as a stub.  If you can get it sharpened at one end in a pencil sharpener it makes for great detail touch up and merge tool.  This will work well with pastels, which I have also used, but years ago.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

ok so here is what I have gotton done so far on my new drawing. Nonny I have some of those sticks I got from Wal-Mart. I may try a cotton swab also see how that works out too... If I get time today Ill start that drawing of the pic from the picture thread. this pic....
