245 - STILL LOST IN FRANCE - DAVE EDWARDS - MIXED MEDIA - 2009 by BLYTHART
Inspired by Bonnie Tyler’s song Lost In France.
For those who are interested, the girl is painted with watered-down acrylic paint, the Eiffel Tower view is painted with gouache and the rest is done with coloured pencils.
This is a variation on my LOST IN FRANCE painting …
The original was done on A4 paper and I decided to enlarge it to A3, but as I started doing that I decided it would be boring just to do a straight copy, so I did another version instead. I rather like both versions as they each have something different to offer.

wow Dave great colours…you really are handling those acrylics wonderfully..do you like them? a great mixed media painting. You have a fabulous imagination too!
Linda … I haven’t had much experience with acrylics and this was a chance to see what they were like when used with water. Thanks for your compliment by the way :) Yes … I think I am starting to like acrylics.
