I started with a watercolour background (I added a bit of granulation medium), but the main image is all acrylic paint. I do like the combination of the watercolour with acrylic. I've put this one in my Etsy shop too.
I went to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition last week, on one of the hottest days! We went early, and changed our travel plans so we didn't spend too long on the Tube, and was that a good decision - unbearable but only for 2 stops. Just could not do that journey every day (though I used to in my youth!).
Anyway, enjoyed the exhibition but I don't think it was as good as some previous years.
Here are some of my favourite pieces ...
"Symphony for a Beloved Daughter 2018"
Barbara Rae
"Ice Floes - Peel Sound"
Mixed media on canvas
"Rufus 3rd"
Made from wood, metal and costume jewellery
"Shooting Star"
Oil
"Refuge"
Copper wire and mixed media
Another favourite artist, this piece is huge. I've seen her work in past exhibitions and there are always unicorns!
Gular Ates
"Eton College Library and She IV"
Photograph/Archival Pigment Print
"Young Academician"
Fibreglass manniquin, Dutch wax printed cotton textile, books and globe
Good time, but arrived home feeling like a puddle, and collapsed on the sofa for the rest of the day!
You have exceptional taste in art. I loved each of these, except I didn't really understand the large sculpture at the entrance. The rest were incredible, especially the last two. Oh heck, they were all great! Thanks for taking us with you.
ReplyDeleteYour own art is superb. I agree that the watercolor background goes well with the acrylic paint. I love the cobalt blue in the vase. You paint SO well, dear Kay.
