I haven't painted in a while. But now that it is this time of year, I can go out on drives in the country and get inspired (and listen to the songs of Aphex that are tied to my emotions this time of year). I decided to try painting in watercolor again. It's been about 2 years since I've touched the stuff. |

See, I wish I could use color like that. I always limit myself to like...crulean blue, indian red, yellow ochre, and van dyke brown. And that's it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
whoah! is there a larger pic somewhere? |
||||||||

Top-left one in number 2 picture of yours is my fav+. |
||||||||
|

|
Watercolour's very difficult to work with, you've done a great job. You're a very talented young lad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I may be able to scan it full size. That was just set up on the counter and photo'd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm grateful. I don't think I've got a comment so nice from you before. Yeah, there is a lot of mess involved from the water. It's not very forgiving like acrylic is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i hve like 40+ colors, my problem is that i do lots of "exploring" withe colors and do necesarrily paint an image, like your barn the one thats almost completely white, i was going for a bedroom setting, but gave up, maybe ill grab it again sometime |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. I also can't set something down and stop and come back to it. Like this one I just posted, I literally made within the last half hour. No joke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats my picasso rip-off, even though it sounds like autechre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it would be great on a big canvas, like something 5 feet x 5 feet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it would, i do a lot of smaller sizes, 18"x12" i grabbed a larger, $20.00 canvas, and just ruined it :( so once i get an idea down that i actually want, ill try it on a larger piece we wanted to get a 5'x5' and have our dog Lily walk on it w/painted feet :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can take that $20.00 get some gesso and re-prime it, right? I remember on a cartoon I used to watch one of the pets on the show got into paint and walked on a canvas by accident. and it sold for a lot. I think it was Spike on Rugrats. |

I LOVE you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word! me and a mate have been doing stuff with watercolours now, and it's the cheapest sort.. so fragile that just touching it leaves fingerprints on the painting and gets paint on your fingers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in other words, swift's got skills! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

or more expensive colours. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they guy Tycho (or his art provider) uses watercolors. I love some of the stuff he's got. It's real saturated colors that just bloom on the paper. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate YOU |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it's expensive. I got my tubes (they're real tiny ones, I think mabye 2 inches long, 1/2 inch wide) for around 7 dollars a tube. But it's worth it because then I can make something like this and sel it to buy more supplies. The most I've sold one for was $300.00 Not so bad. I was proud. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, we bought these huge bottles with coloured liquid in them.. 1 litre, maybe 75 kroner each (11$) we bought red, green, blue, black and white, and are mixing all other colours... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to sample your palette...if you know what I mean. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I mean, see some of the colors. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! innuendo my palette? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean, if you could take some of your home made colors and somehow post them so I can see. I love looking at color schemes. It's one of my all time favorite things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehm.. we don't store the colours, we just mix them when we need them.. on the painting. in effect, if you want to see our palette, you need to see the paintings. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll post pics when I get them down here In the meantime, I have some older paintings posted in a thread somewhere here, I think... they're a good mix of all types of paint, though... oil, water, spray, oil (in the strict sense, ie not oil colour, but.. oil...). I'll see if I find them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm going to waste all my time this winter up in my room doing stuff like this. I'm gonna have to get an EBAY account and sell some to people who don't know any better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these are the ones I have in my apartement right now. we just did them for fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, I remember seeing these. Frukt was my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, right I'm getting a new one down here soon, but it's.. well, it's very minimal with almost nothing but green and a sort of typical web-designy flowery pattern at the bottom... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Excellent! I've never been able to do stuff with watercolour |
||||||||
|
