NEW WORK

Well today being another day spent at doing one of the many pieces ,,,for my exhibition this year .2011...this one took only a day and a few hours to complete, however the natural light had to be captured before I could begin painting..........many artist paint at night... or in the full glare of the sunlight... I dont fall into either mold ,as I paint when the natural light streams into my work room , .....once this takes place its painting time , ........the piece I have just completed is the same size as all the others.... all themed pieces , ........I will feel good when I have around 10 pieces completed, in all..... I am now at 5, fully completed pieces in watercolour ......I never go back to a piece to do anything with it ...once its completed its completed .......the error in going back to a piece is that one will automatically over do it or place some odd thing in it that it will be spoilt .......after working so many hours I do not intend to spoil the piece I have created , ......if I uploaded my work here of the new pieces then there will be no fun in seeing the new work of this year ....still working on a name for it ,as yet no name has come to me , ....all the pieces remained unsigned strange ... but I will do this as I name them all ... well do follow me here as I enter my blog with my joys and feelings of painting , ....

Art being worked on now

well I have been working on my 2011 collection, of paintings recently , today I was working on one, the work is extensive , all the pieces will be in a theme, I love doing work related to themes the theme that I have chosen ,I will not share right now , neither will I be sharing any of the work that is images on my website here, facebook or anywhere else , this is just how I am when it comes to works,,, for an exhibition. This year I have the exhibition carded for November ,last week in that month to be carried over to December . The exhibition will be a shared one with two other artist ,in completely different styles , so it will be very interesting to view all the work , by all three of us .
When I am working on a body of work I am into it mind and soul , I research pieces working from photos , as well as from actual drawings ,,,that I will make of each piece , I am very disciplined with doing the work I need to have completed , will most likely exhibit around 20 pieces or more , unlike the last exhibition not one piece is small.... all are beautiful sizes , and will make a grand display in offices to homes .
Working in watercolour only for this exhibition , no other medium , this is my favoured medium , and I work well in it and I have had excellent reviews, from galleries abroad as well as art collectors abroad concerning my methods .
The watercolours I am doing right now , take many hours of work, but to say that I dont enjoy this will be a lie .having been asked if I work in the night.... the answer is indeed no ..as the colours are different remember folks,,,, I see with one eye, I paint without my glasses as well .
The shadows etc I do for each piece is not done in black... but in the line of indigo colours .
Do I draw out everything ? no I cant , at least not with a pencil ...I have been taught to paint with the brush straight onto the paper hence the work is all drawn with my brush .... always remember that watercolours are the most difficult medium of all .....mistakes.... cannot be made as the piece will be ruined , well I hope to post my thoughts ,feelings, etc on my blog about my art as I do the pieces ..... Can anyone guess the theme I am doing ?
