Mt Barney

Hey thanks !!

Thanks Sandra I might get another canvas and have another go[I am doing a very long version right now thoough ] I just couldn’t seem to get the foreground as I wanted in the square format, but going over the pic in the digital seemed to work okay..

wish I could paint as fast! one touch over the photo of the art work and that’s it!

the original was just ordinary colours actully it started off underpainted in reds but then I did lanscape colours over as it was a really heavyily misted cloudy day but Ijust couldn’t get the foregound as it should be so I used the canvas and painted a portrait on top , I spottend the photo I had of it on my files and thought I’d try doing some photoshopping .I’ll check later and leave a link what I used , I am painting another in wide landscape ,[taking time as I have problems with time going to doctors] I have done this mountain a few times from diferent locations , it’s often covered in cloud. I’ll see If I can put the original on here too.

hi cobbycook the photoshop program was
Filter ,.... Artistic.,paintbrush , then a little bit of curves to make it reidsh tinges.I inserted the pic of the original, I oftern take photos as I progress. I oftern paint over ones I am not happy with either!

thanks Elaine . [nice to see you]

thanks enivea I have heaps of photos of pic I have painted over I often do some editing Very nteresting. effects sometimes…

yes that’s why I painted over it I intended it to be very stormy but orangy / red to make it more interesting but I just couldn’t get the paddocks right either. I may have got there in the end but I thought easier to start another sometime , the colouds cleared a lot and it ended up a really sunny day there anyway I still have a few w/coulur /acylic on site sketches to work from, and photos!

thanks very much, well it’s really fun to do ps especially over something that’s not around anymore only on my photo files.

Well of course!

Thanks JIm nice of you to comment

thanks Bev ooh ohh had to laugh at the comment you made about the undo button hehehe ,I just haven’t had time to sit and play with the brushes, actually it hurts me lately to sit for long,
.I used to do a lot of things on the Microsoft Paint program, when I first got a pc ,made some good designs I used for paintings

hi Catherine thanks, did you notice I did digital over it?

Hi Deborah. thanks very much, I painted over it so this is digital over the top of a half finished work I’ll do another one day !

Yes I was thinking of getting Redbubble to buy me an exercise machine….

thanks Karin , going through my files soon see what else I painted over!!

Thank you soooo much!

oh yes I love up there I had a fabulous day there when I did the sketches for this, magical very very cloudy as usual and rain storms and then the they went and it was very hot. Had a lvley chat to locals stopped in the road to watch me paint… I would love to go to the pools but don’‘t think I could make the walk , in fact sure I couldn’t!

Thanks Shelley I started another 120×60 but am bogged down again..!! I have done a few from this spot never seem to finish …

Trouble is, I can never decide which way to paint as one minute it’s [the mountain ]covered in cloud and nnext all sunny!

hi James … thanks really nice of you to say…

thanks Alexandra wish I could copy it with paint exactly,,

Hi BB Thanks very much .

Thanks this is one I didn’t even bother to rework I just painted a portrait over it… but I had photographed it, and reworked it in Microsoft photoshop I am doing another, but can’t get it right either!

hehehe gentle ones!! somehow every time I do this one from this spot I mess it up I think I have had 4 tries now. over 5 years ,latest needs some help too with the foreground I just can’t seem to finish it . problem is I know a couple of really professional well known in Australia and overseas ,artists who have done it so well I get bogged down trying to be different…
