Black and white combination has its own charm, no? Like black and white photographs. And these days I'm really fascinated by Black & White paintings. They look very striking. So, I tried. One in Acrylic medium and another in Watercolour.
Waterfall in Black and White
For this painting, I followed a Youtube tutorial by Joni Young (Again. Like my last Secret Staircase painting. She explains everything so well and so calmly). It turned out well, I think. The artist said it's a morning scene in Black & White. To me, it seemed like a moonlit night scene. :) What do you think?
A Forest Scene in Black & White
Watercolour medium is dear to me, as I started with this medium. I never thought that I would enjoy painting in acrylic medium, but I am really enjoying. It's a forgiving medium. It's been a long time since I painted in watercolours, so I decided to get back to watercolours. I didn't use any reference photo for this painting. And I am clueless when it comes to painting without reference photo. I have mixed feelings for this painting. Plus, I am not good at sketching figures, still I wanted to go for it (at the risk of ruining my painting). What do you think about this painting?
Your paintings are both wonderful, your style is great. Fabulous work. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. :)
DeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine. :)
DeleteI like them both! My first thought about the first one was moonlit, but I think it could be seen as either. I think you are being too critical of your second one. It doesn’t appear you were clueless without a reference photo, and your figures are perfect. They don’t need sketching first, they look like figures! What did you paint on, canvas, paper, etc.?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Barbara for your kind words. I'm so glad the figures look like A couple. I used Brustro watercolour paper for both acrylic and watercolour paintings. :)
DeleteWonderful image!!!
