@AutumnSplendors ty for your comment, it is of course very helpful, and you are right, there is no composition, and just a boring predictable subject, but it was a start and am glad that you can tell those are railroad tracks.
I like this one, it means something to me. ITs resembles time and uncontrolable change (seasons and natures powers with the strong colours). The train track reminds me of the place I picked blackberries & when I first met my partner, we walked past a train track (not used) & he is 24 yrs older than me, so time is important. The train track looks so lonely & I have no idea of getting to know what is around the corner, its scary but exciting. I wish I could see the future, even tho spoils fun.
@Catherine8raw wow, you got alot out of that, and you are right the tracks in the distance make a bend, cut into the mountains so there are dark walls of rock on either side and it is kind of spooky and I never went any further because I didn't have my big dog with me. (I don't fear the bears and wild cats, but it's the backwoods people that sometimes are not friendly)
Oh, did I. Well I am clairvoyant, i should not say, but I think I am a prat, but it is others that say I am right, I got one lady nodding like their was something wrong with her. i thought she would damage her neck, LOL! I usually feel more psychic when I just relax, have a big stuff up on chocolate (I do not eat this now, so it would be nuts!) I am nuts. Anyway, I just forget everything that make me stiffen up and let go, I do not make strange om noises or act like a dork, I just am.
I told my Mum when the bus was coming seconds before it came, when I was 3years old, I was born a hungry baby, one nurse said I was the hungriest baby she had seen in 3 years & also, I knicked chocolate/sweets out of peoples school bags when I was 8ish I prayed to God to help me stop being a klaptermaniac but It did not work untill I stopped taking the vitamins Mum gave me (vitamin B6, removed the allergy via NAET!). Later years did Reiki and suddenly was more clairvoyant, binge eater, student.
I remember having a huge blackberry binge over a few weeks. I even went on a blackberry feast for 1 week and saved £98 food bill. I froze some for later on in the year too. There amazing, full of calcium and vitamin C, flavonoids, and unfortunately, maggetss, untill you put them in water.
It's been two years since that painting, and I still can't get the autumn in water colors, I recently tried it with water sol oils, still ended up with a mess.. I think I try to put in way too much that I see, so next I will try to simplify it, I think I get overly amazed at all the colors autumn, the sun and shades produce. Maybe if I squint more when painting?
Well get the light spot on a pictur squinting is a trick.....but with an utumn scenario...is really hard...probably the right way is to simplify the composition....yesterday evening i did it...i wiil post you a short video just to let you understand how hard utum is for me...
I'm not a pro, but have painted w/ watercolors, oils & acrylics. I found watercolor the hardest...takes a lot of experience & as our host said, planning. They are fairly transparent so painting over mistakes is a challenge. Acrylics are easiest. They are opaque and dry fast so you can try, try again until it looks right. Oils also take experience to master & they dry very slowly so you often have to stop and wait a day just to try again. For beginners, I say acrylics will be most rewarding.
I started with pencil, charcoal, pastels, than oils, commissioned starting at 9yrs, taught adult oil painting by 11yrs old, by 17 commercial, few private collections, some awards, museums, than it was all down hill, I sold out to commercial to make a living, raised a family, got into a wreck, brain & spine damage, & started painting with 3" thick brush handes for therapy. now retired & learning watercolors for the 1st time & it's close to impossible for me :), but it fits in w/ my disability
It's almost like I was suppose to make a living being an artist, but didn't trust myself nor my talent enough, either way I'm back, even though far from the natural talent I was as a kid, I'm enjoying it much more & greatful that I have something that I can kind of do.
:0, seriously, I don't, I thank you, but I do plan on keeping it up so that I will be good one day, even surpass my childhood prodigy, and instead of a steady hand and clear eyes and strength of youth, I'm going with it, and the crooked lines and lack of detail will be part of my style, and even if that doesn't happen, I'm enjoying it :), This is the first that I remembered that much of my youth, since the accident, I thank you for stiring up my memory
ty, I hope you do get to experience watercolor, for me it was/is very hard form of art, for others they do much better, yet, I enjoy it the most, my examples are not good, but I'm going to continue, until I get it right.
thank you for showing your interest, I like your site too, I hope you will continue your rapture series,, it was well made and loved the song.
That was one painting that I took pictures at different steps of painting, it's been a long long time since I painted.. so it will be a while before anything turns out really good.
the skecthing does not look all that hard to do, I guess if u have something to look at, my question/ is water color a good choice for painting a still shot of a rock band with all the color and smoke in what I' triying to capture
It is possiable, as far as a good choice, i'd think oil or acrylic would be easier to work with. With watercolor you would plan ahead where the smoke, light and highlight was and use alot the white of the paper, unless you use opaque watercolor, then you have a bit more room for lack of planning. If you do use water color, it would be really cool.
thank u trumirror as I try to understand what u mean, I'm just a beginner, but use to draw as a kid, now it seems everywhere I go I meet people that paint,will I use water color 1st? u bet,thank u 4 your reflexion u are a true mirror

@Catherine8raw interesting, and glad you don't make funny noises, sounds as if you where born a sensitive or empath.

This was very nice! I've recently thought of taking up painting and think I would like to use water color.
