LESSON #68 - Hake Brush Demo

[Happychappy]

    Good one, Lillian!!


    Superb job Harald and Denise.  I have to wait for the replay and then may not have too much time for the next week.  I missed not joining in today but it was lovely to see the paintings of those who did.  Good job.  Patricia

Thank you Dennis, will darken it up
 
Lillian, that's a super funny quote, my cat caught me laughing out loud all alone

[jrhall036]

Wonderful job, Denise!    You used that hake brush like a pro!! 

Lillian, I have got to remember that quote!  It suits me perfectly!! 

[dennis]

Denise, see how the darkened bush has opened up the gap between itself and the distant cliff  - and added punch to the painting

I finally discovered what's wrong with my brain:
On the left side there's nothing right and on the right side there's nothing left.   

There are some days......

Herald and Denise you guys did a great job. Denise love your clouds.  I was not able to get on the website yesterday. So I missed talking to you all. Hopefully will see you at the next one. Glad to have Dennis back.
You can't keep a good man down.

Here's my work on the Hake Brush Beach. I had to leave before Dennis finished so I finished this today before the replay. (My colors aren't as bad as this scan makes them out to be.) Yep, I'll redo with the replay. thank you Dennis

[Harald]

Denise, you`ve got a nice picture with a gorgeous sky.
Thank you all for the nice comments, I also appreciate the suggestions. I will follow it up and correct as best I can.
It was fun to use the hakabrush again so I painted a new Picture. Hope it is an improvement.
The first is painted with W&N Artist watercolour on the second I used Cotman.

Carol, I love this.  The tide pool is a bit washed out, but as you said it's probably the scan. Regardless, I think the overall effect is great. 

[BeaSue]

Harald, that's a fine re-do. And goes to show that student-grade paint can produce vibrant results. Good for you for your perseverance! 

[Denise808]

Dennis, thank you for suggesting darkening the bushes. Yes, I can really see how it changes the depth, what a difference!    remembering that will really be helpful when I do my future paintings .....

 
Harald, I love your second painting also, thank you for sharing the comparison with the paints. The rock re-do looks great and I'm glad your man now has a head in the second painting

 
Carol, very nice painting! I really like the dreamy look it has...
 
Thank you everyone! for your nice comments    looking forward to seeing your    also

I can't add anything to what's already been said.  I'll just say, "Ditto! Well done, Carol and Harald."
