Working my way through series II

Lord Collingwood`s memorial. Tynemouth

Acrylics.

7x5" Mini canvas.

Series II

I`m loving working on these mini canvases, they work up so quickly, and it`s surprising just how much detail you can fit on such a small area.

 

I love working in Acrylics to do these at this size, but I still don`t like working big in acrylics...............yet!

If you have problems painting due to disabilities or dexterity problems, please have a look. It shows pictures of how I`ve adapted my equipment, so that I am still able to paint.

Canvas Board

I finished this last week, but I wasn`t happy with a couple of areas, so I touched those areas up this week. ( What were you thinking)? lol.

 

I`m alot happier with this now.

 

 I collected the other tiger painting that I did, ( Stephie`s Tiger) from the framers this week....and I have to say I`m over the moon with the result. I don`t know whether I`ll be able to let these Tigers go.

I will take a photograph when it`s daylight to show you the results.

To see more of the work I`ve been doing this week pop over to www.sharondouglas.weebly.com and have a look at what`s on the easel.

Quinacridone gold.

Enlightenment at Tynemouth Priory.

 

15x11"

 

Watercolours.

 

I`ve painted the outside view of Tynemouth Priory many times over, but never the inside, so when I was looking through my reference photo`s for something to paint I came across the reference that I used for this painting, and I couldn`t resist giving it a go.
I loved the way the sunlight was streaming through the stained glass windows. It was so bright that you could hardly see any colour in the windows at all.

 

Nightlights at North Shields Fish Quay.

Watercolours

15x11"

 

I started by laying on an underwash of quinacridone gold, so that it would give the end painting a lovely warm golden glow, and a feeling of unity.
