| Re: a challenge! I admit it IS quite striking. I'd also imagine that it would be different working with a dark background, almost like working with a reflection of your own work as you create it - working with light instead of shadows. My compliments on your talent (and daring - I have enough trouble working with shadows - LOL). I hope to see more of your work soon! |

| Re: a challenge! I thought your picture of Gandalf was just marvellous. I have always loved the white on black pictures. For some reason I usually feel there is something enigmatic about the character. The closest I came to doing something along those lines were some of the intricate Australian flowers. I cheated one year and painted on black velvet a picture of an Eagle. Unfortunately, he has a twinkle in his eye! |

| Re: a challenge! interesting story...  You know, I can't imagine my drawings or paintings without experiments. It's like to live it the process and feel through your picture. You just have an idea and you blidly follow it. There is no other way back, just you must go ahead... |

| Re: a challenge! I too used to love experimenting with different colours and mediums. Which types went well together. Pastels and water colours together look very pretty but to me always seems to need something else to give it impact. Unless of course it is a picture of softness and light - like mist over the water. I was trying to show my granddaughters a few tips on water colours and how to do a 'wash'. They were very intrigued and put great effort into it. Somehow the jar of water got tipped over and ran across some of their paintings - 'now we have a real wash, grandma' they were quick to point out! |

| Re: a challenge! Cool pic...wish I could see the oil original! Quote:
As for my own drawings...I include the following. I should warn you I love working with lines. I wish I could post a pic of the motorcycle but it is way too big to scan and send. If I ever get a camera that work tho...   Sorry, they're so shoddy...both are made up of a series of lines. | |

 The line is just one of forms (like tone, shape, form, rhythm, space) how you can express yourself in art. To my mind, works with line has a temptating touch of graphic style. I would like to see your motorcycle picture, too pity it's not possible. | |
