exit pursued by crows, originally uploaded by Dru Marland.
Oh no! Got an e-mail from Richard Jones at Tangent Books, asking if I had a picture for Geraldine's nature column in the next Bristol Review of Books. And realised that I'd completely forgotten about it.
So this was yesterday's picture.
I quite like the sky, layered up with gouache because it was a bit thin with Cotman indigo. Maybe I'll deepen the shadows on the woman, I'm still experimenting with light; it probably shows....
now what rhymes with toboggan?
ReplyDeleteoops - forgot to say how love how you've used those colours
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Ramona's work?

It reminds me of Good King Wenceslas. I like the blue, very wintry and cold
ReplyDeleteI'm sure we can come up with loads of rhymes, Delia.... 'frog on' is only a half-rhyme, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link, Gwynneth; nice blog, duly bookmarked!
Thanks, Anji. Two of my favourite paint colours in this pic; indigo and sepia
Oh no, what a nightmare. I hate it when I forget things such as this; it knots my stomach up.
ReplyDeleteI really like the blues you have and the way you have worked the bridge in the background.
I react horribly to brown envelopes, myself, Bella. With this, there was only the lack of inspiration for an ide for the picture, which was fortunately quite short. Thank you. I used masking fluid for the highlights and the bridge.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. I like the contrast between the soft, mellow browns and the deep blues.
ReplyDeleteThank you, NIAB!
