Horse Chestnut
Wild
Flowers gone wild... I was testing how watercolor paper would work with my ink painting. Unfortunately ink always looks quite dull on it when compared to 'rice paper', which shows magnificent shades and nuances. But the problem with rice paper is that painting gets crinkled and needs to be mounted on a stiffer backing paper, which is a very difficult process. Currently I am sending my work to China to be mounted but that is time consuming. There must be soneone in London who has mastered the traditional Asian wet mounting technique?
sweet dreams Sasa!, me too, will return tomorrow :))
ReplyDeleteNice work, Sasa. Some trees are very photogenic, oh, no, sorry, drawgenic ! I like it!
ReplyDeletehere me again!!!!
ReplyDelete(this was like waves of the sea, you and me, we come to the blog, we left, and we return) :))
OK, my dear friend!!
thanks for coming twice, to see my post and for your comment.
I do not know, I think if you like it is enough, do not try to understand. ha ha
about the header, I'll explain by mail. ok? is a bit long to explain.
I would say this is a work, very finished,(your tree) more than a sketch
I love how you managed the different planes of leaves, with more light or more shade
is something I never can did it. I think that's why I do not paint landscapes, I'm useless for that, I have tried many times but the result is always mediocre.
I send you a kiss and my desire good week!!!!!!!!!!!!:))
I am the same as Roberto...Trees are hard...trying to simplify the foliage and make it look good is one of Art's little difficulties!!! You did it well though.
ReplyDeleteOhhh they are one of my favourite trees!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is OSOO GORGEOUS! Love all the details!
It's so nice to do some life drawing too from time to time :)
Very nice, Sasa. Good thing you limited yourself to a part of the tree, it makes it bigger and give the viewer more to ponder about.
ReplyDeleteHow could I have missed this imposant tree??? I love trees. Yours is so beautiful! So big and proud and festive. All leaves unfold and blossoming! His shadow shows his prestige!
ReplyDeleteI love your depiction of this sweet chestnut. I was there this weekend and the pink blossoms were out. magnificent specimen.
