Experimenting

I've been playing with the lovely photos I took on Sunday evening, using acrylic matte medium (I love that stuff!) to transfer them onto brown paper.



This one came out a bit 'black and white' but the tiny bits of black that have migrated onto the white area have reminded me that at some times of year the estuary sands are covered with birds, and maybe I should get them into the picture somewhere...

And this one is quite different and I'm rather pleased with how clearly it has come out as well as the lovely strong lines.

I think I'm going to play with charcoal today.

  6. These are really lovely. I like how you've added extra texture and drawn the colours out onto the brown paper too.
