Teasel Time

Comments

Very effective - looks good!!

Looks good Tessa, yupo not easy I find…

Love the wispy clouds behind those commanding teasels Tessa and the way you have painted the grasses.

This is lovely Tessa, has a great spontaneity about it

A success Tessa, lovely landscape. How do you find gouache behaves on Yupo ?

Lovely ❤️

Thanks so much Pastor, David, Stephen and Valerie for your kind comments. Carole S, thanks also, yes Yupo is an odd sort of surface, not sure I’ve got to grips with it yet, just fiddling about experimenting. Carole K, thank you, glad you like the grasses, much fiddling there! Heather, thanks so much. Fiona, I find that gouache basically doesn’t behave on Yupo, but am persevering as it’s quite exciting and fun to find out what suits it! It’s such an odd and slippery surface, however it’s very nice to draw on and can be wiped off, so probably endless possibilities. I think Sylvia first brought it to my attention, she uses it very well: then we tried it at an alcohol ink class (works well but unhealthy!), so I think it has many mediums you could use and I’m. To sure that gouache is especially suitable! Thanks for commenting. x Spencer and Faye, thank you also for taking the time, always appreciated.

Never mind the Yupo, I like the viewpoint here!

P.s. I can see you lying down in the grass painting this😁

Thank you Marjorie! I was just commenting on your work/gift on the forum. Superb!

Can you indeed? Well I know you have a good eye…..🤣

I like your muted colours in this Tessa. Don’t know how artists can use Yuppo paper - dreadful stuff!

Thank you Frank, and I’m tempted to agree, but having fun trying it at the moment, and have a few sheets left to use! 🤣

A lovely sense of movement in this.

Many thanks David.

Thank you Maureen.

Beautifully painted art... So simply subject it is, but how accurate composed to become an art...

Many thanks Art.

I have returned to painting over the last few years having relocated from Cardiff to the Cotswolds in 2009 and joined the Guiting Power Art Group. Although I did a year's Foundation Course at art college after leaving school, I hadn’t painted much in the interim, except for a few attempts here and…
