just darken the shadow cast by the pot a bit more O0

This flower pot painting is fantastic. Not sure about the "impressionistic" part, as everything looks so realistic. The flowers are so well done, I want to pick them. Love the depth in your background.
I want to do that one as soon as I catch up on things.

Nolan, can we please do something similar in Acrylic! :pray: :)
Post by: dirk123 on July 16, 2015, 09:44:27 PM
Mea, if you zoom in on the flowers you can see there are only dashes of paint, no real details.

I love the composition Nolan chose for this.
I know my door panels are not perfect, but I am proud of my pot (as symmetrical as I could get it); the flowers; and my cut stone pieces.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Val - I must confess that I gave up on the knife painting on the flowers and had to stipple them to get them finished. I have to learn to control the knife better. The flowers could still use better shading, though.
Patricia - I love this, too. I will try the same technique on other flowers.
Mary Lou - I am quite proud of the pot.

It is clear that your flowers are in a sunnier climate than mine. :)
Post by: MaryAnne Long on July 25, 2015, 03:33:01 PM
I really like the knife technique now that the painting is drying. There's such volume and dimension. I did use a stippling brush towards the end because I could not control the knife. I just need to practice more.
This was a very rewarding lesson.

Wow, Danielle, that is an origional version. The white on the walls looks a bit like snow, but it could not be if the flowers are in bloom?.

Yesterday, a friend came into my studio and fell in love with my version of this. So, it became her wedding gift. She was so happy as red geraniums are her favorite flower.

Help Nolan, sonething looks skew to me, definitely sonething to do with the door, but I
cant put my finger on it! Can you tell me what is wrong. This is one of those paintings that would drive me crazy because something is not quite right :2funny: :2funny:

There are two things wrong that Dirk & Val have pointed out:
1) Verticals remain vertical
2) The two flowers on the left can't overlap the wall according to the distance you have created. To allow them to over lap, you would need to show the floor higher up on the left. Alternately you would need to "hide" the two flowers by cutting the off where they disappear behind the wall (my favourite solution as you won't loose any depth)

Fabulous job on this. Love the way you painted the peeling paint, even the knot hole in the wood. Cut stone looks great.
I think the geranium flowers need more shadowed spaces to make them pop more. Check the reference photo. I looked back at mine and realized I should have done that, too.
Wasn't this a fun painting? One of my favorite lessons.

Always love reading your comments!I will look at the flowers again..thank you!
I had to paint the peeling paint as I soon realized that I couldn't scrub off paint like in oil colours!
That knot was an accident turned to my advantage 8)
Yes loved the class!

Maybe some more darks on the cut stone to give added texture; same for the geraniums for more depth.

I love this painting and the frame is simple but brings out the color of the pot, well I think.Hi everyone. Please take a look at this painting, is it one that you would sell? I noticed the shadow with hard edges rather than soft ones. I wished I would have noticed this sooner, before varnishing it.
