I think this watercolour, of my daughter inlaw Jo and her horse Sunny, is finished. While working on it this afternoon I kept fiddling with little areas which was adding nothing to the image. Always a good sign to finish. So here it is, watercolour on Saunders Waterford Rough 140lb 16" x 16". A very challenging picture requiring multiple washes to create the form and give the required depth of colour particularly on the horse.
What went well?

The digital images are finally complete and are being exhibited at the Chesney Centre in Featherstone until January 13th 2015. I will post pictures of all the paintings if I can obtain the permission of the other artists. Only the first 2 of the above images were included for exhibition from me. The first, which is the portrait of Unity Mitford created from binary code is 20" x 24" profesionally printed on a large linear printer. The second, which is a series of images created on an iPad using the ArtRage app, is 16" x 12". This image is in the style of Andy Warhol and was printed on a laser printer. I found this project extremely interesting and working in a group of 12 artists was very stimulating. It was very beneficial to receive critique and suggestions during the creation of my images, and to see the totally different approaches each artist adopted for their interpretation of the subject (Unity). The fact that the work was to be exhibited also pushed me to create something original and and worthy of showing to the public. This is of my daughter in law and her horse Sunny. It is 16" x 16", watercolour on Saunders Waterford 140lb NOT. The source photograph was 6" x 4".
The question is, is it finished? Probably not. What did not work well?

I'll keep it on the easels for week or two and reassess it then. |
