Into the Blue

Comments

Those blues are gorgeous Jenny. Excellent subject and composition!

Fabulous use of blues (colour saturation looks great to me). Super dolphins too.

Superb work Jenny.

Beautifully painted Jenny.

really love the textures and the contrast with the smooth dolphins

Thank you so much for the encouraging comments - wasn’t sure about this one, it’s a bit different for me, so it’s good to get positive feedback.

Excellent Jenny, like the movement and the " splash".

Love the textures, the blues and the brilliant splashes.

Lovely work Jenny.

You always get the proportions in your paintings just right Jenny. The stars of the painting perfectly placed, the right amount of wave spray and the mix and proportion of blues understated.

Thanks very much Richard, Marjorie, Carole and Fiona! Pleased you think it worked out OK - I’m still finding the acrylic inks quite hard to work with, I’m so used to being able to lift out with watercolour.

Super Jenny, good composition and I like the textured background. Photographing artwork can be a tricky thing, especially at this time of year. I use daylight bulbs which can help with colour, also moving the camera away from the work can change the colours slightly, as the camera will adjust to what is in the frame - it just means you have to crop a bit more.

Thanks, Frank! Getting a good photo isn’t actually the issue, I can get a really good image with my iPad. The problem is when I upload it to POL the colours seem a bit muted - it started happening a few months ago after one of the site upgrades. Strange no-one else has mentioned it.

Terrific work Jenny

Excellent composition and use of colour. Apart from the richness of the blue I like the suggestion of sea-foam in the bottom left-hand corner and the dolphins leaping into the picture.

Thanks very much George and Frank for your encouraging comments!

Gorgeous colour, textures and idea. Love it Jenny!

Thanks, Carole!

Mixed media 19 x 24 cm. (Still having trouble getting the colours to look right on my uploads - find I have to increase the saturation slightly otherwise they appear a little dull.) The blue is FW acrylic ink Marine Blue.

Jenny Harris

I paint mainly in watercolour, often including other media such as pen and ink, pastel or collage. My main interest is in colour and design and most of my work is quite stylised and often illustrative. I enjoy experimenting with acrylic inks, particularly using cling film to create texture, and…
