I did. It isn’t the first time either. This time I requested Winsor and Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours. I would be interested to hear if any of you have used them and what you think? I have slowly been collecting convential oil paints too but as I paint on the kitchen table didn’t want to make the whole area smell of white spirit. Not needing to use solvents for mixing and for cleaning brushes attracted me So far I have used acrylics but want to branch out into oils this year. I have tried oils a few times and have been amazed by their ability to mix so well…whereas as soon as the acrylic hits the canvas it dries on a warm day almost instantly. This often means that a use a ‘dry brush’ technique with acrylics to blend colours, sometimes I work with a small sponge too So is it impossible to tell the difference between these water mixable oil colours and traditional ones? All the colours are rated as permanent for lightfastness, some of course are transparent or semi-transparent, others opaque or semi-opaque. There are 40 colours in the range, I have only a fraction of them at the mo. / Artisan mediums can be mixed with them to thin, help in fast-drying and work in impasto I will post again on here when I have tried them out and let you know how I find them. / I have heaps to learn about mediums and if you have a particular favourite I’ll like to know what it is and why? I have seen a great variety of them used by artists on RedBubble…watercolours, pen and ink, pastels, oil crayons, coloured pencils etc… They can be used alone or in combination with each other to achieve some marvellous effects. Happy creating to all. By the way I sold 5 paintings in my first solo exhibition which finished a few weeks ago and was very happy with that. Now it is time to think about the next one. Cheers / Anni

I just had a call from Nic Hohn, artist and friend to inform me that Beach Bums had just sold at the Annual Downlands Art Exhibition. I am doing the happy dance. Which is great for when I went yesterday to view the exhibition I was very disappointed to see “Crowess” was not on display, when I approached the curator to ask why, he said he felt it wasn’t strong enough, I was upset at that for I felt it was a good painting and being my latest work felt it showed a progression and development of a personal style. I am still disappointed she is not on show, yet I am very pleased to have sold a piece of my art, / Beach Bums was a fun piece to do, combining a few different techniques and well now it is on it’s way to a new home.
Diesel on Decks – The Art Piece / ...
Diesel on Decks – The Art Piece / - This is my favourite design to date and, as I was rummaging through the house the other day I stumbled across an acrylic paint set. / So I popped down the shop, purchased some 45×60 canvas’ and decided it was time to convert my art from digital to reality. I decided to take some photos of the process and as it stands, I believe I am 1/4 of the way through. Enjoy. —-—-—-—-- / To start, I hopped into Photoshop and made my canvas the same size as the ‘real’ canvas. In this case, 45cm x 60cm, with 300dpi. Then I dragged my vector image across and resized it to fit the Photoshop canvas. Unfortunately I don’t have a massive printer, so I printed the image across 4 pieces of paper, (there was a little bit of the image missing on each page) aligning each page with the reference corner; eg. top left image on the page aligns with top left corner, bottom right aligns to bottom right corner etc. Then, I printed a colour version of the center image, where most of the ‘action’ happens. I will use this image for colour reference, and also tracing later on. Then came the question of how to get that design onto the canvas. Remembering back to primary school, I used a highly advanced technique (WARNING – NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED) called…...TRACING. Told you it was advanced! I coloured the back of the main colour image, and then, using my 4 pages as a guide, I traced the image directly onto the canvas. Ooooooh! Then I posed for this really cool shot. Then next bit was to get my paints out and start colouring in the areas. Even though I will later cover over the edges with thick black outlines, I wanted to be as neat as possible and take my time on this artwork. I tend to usually rush things in real life so it was a good test! When I paint, I have a habit of pouring out way too much paint then I need. Today was no different. I’m sure I will learn to perfect this wasting technique as the days go on. I was drawing/painting for about 2 hours and I’m quite proud of how far I have got already. I’m also very happy with where it is going, and it may not look like much in the final drawing SO FAR, but in my opinion it’s on track! I’m not sure how long it will take to finish it, probably another 4 days when I get the time, but I will put up another Journal entry asap! This is where we leave it for today, but stay tuned…I will finish this! If you like this art piece, please view it here > /

Hi all, / Hope everyone celebrating ‘Thanksgiving Day’ is having a great day? Thought I’d warn everyone…..have now ‘aquired’ (via the thoughtful gift of a friend) a digital camera! So with luck, a bit of patience and LOTS of practice, may be able to replace some of my ‘lesser’ attempts at Photography with some ‘more professional’ ones! Well, that’s the plan! Certainly is giving me something exciting to do and think about! Also bought myself some ‘training pencils’, kids water colours and some fancy acrylic ‘metallic’ paints – hey even at 44, have to (re)start somewhere! Am going away for the weekend – hopefully I’ll pack the above items, imagination AND memory, so I can practice in the country! We’ll see. Hope you’re all well and Happy Cheers from Cobie :-)
