I like this a lot Martin, simple, pared back and lovely brushwork

A great result Martin.

Lovely, Martin, I especially like the way you’ve done the foreground.

I like it. The way the brush texture shows through the irises definitely adds something.

A delightful composition Martin, and well painted!

The gesso has given it a wonderful textural effect Martin. Lovely piece.

Lovely result Martin but I have mixed feelings about these irises….my fault, I planted them at the edge of our small pond…..annexation, invasion…..ousting! That seems to be the continuing story of our pond😆 The style here also reminds me of Rennie Macintosh.

There is a serenity about this that I really like Martin.

Beautiful Martin; I really like the texture on the water and the flags are lovely. Interesting too that this is on a wooden panel, I like it. Did you apply the carbon ink with the fude pen?

Posted by Karen Lewis on Sun 17 Sep 14:58:05

Thanks David and Karen. Yes Karen I used the Fude pen. Probably not very good for the nib as the surface is very rough. Sometimes the intended stroke was pulled off course a little by the grain too.

Love the close up iris against the expanse of water Martin.

I caught these irises as they were about to open amongst the willows at Hatfield Moors in May. It’s my second attempt at carbon ink and acrylic inks on a wooden panel to which I’d applied acrylic gesso in hot sun. There was a lot of brush texture to work on. A3
