Sir Henry Moore ... old alumni of where I went to Senior school.

'I'd rather have my sculpture in the landscape, than on the most beautiful building I know'

 

 

One of his recurring themes ... ... ... King and Queen ... ... ... in Scotland, I believe, hopefully still in situ.

One of my favourite pieces of his work, yes we studied his work to GCE A level in 3D Art classes

I have enjoyed watercolour paintings for a very long time.

These are two miniatures I painted years ago of the

panies and polyanthus growing in my garden ~ Watercolour  "wet in wet" technique

Wow @TallTrees , those are great! The blue and yellow one on the right - I can see so many different things in that painting, and not just flowers. It's interesting how you can interpret art in so many different ways as someone mentioned above. slight_smile

 

I'm enjoying following this thread @Anonymous ! thumbsup

@TallTrees 

Totally agree with @Marjo , I love the painting on the right. It`s as though there is much more than just the flowers... Brilliant. You should sell your works of art @TallTrees .

 

And thanks @Anonymous for this lovely thread.

Absolutely beautiful @TallTrees  ... the blue in each painting is the same and the pictures look well framed and placed together

You have a good eye for these things TallTrees smiling

I'm guessing 'wet on wet' technique is where you wet the paper, stretch it and tape it to a 'painting board' ... = ... I am not trained in painting, but did enjoy the tv programme 'Watercolour Challenge'

My style is semi-abstract in the art I appreciate

There is a dedicated art shop in town ... I have recently found a good set of brushes in a folder (never been used, yet) ... my small tin of watercolours will probably be in my old wooden desk in my workroom

 

Thank you @TallTrees  @Mi-Amigo  and @Marjo  for your kind comments about this thread I started after public discussion rainbow

Hi @Anonymous
Thank you for your kind comments. I quite like wet in wet it's a technique where the paper is wet not very wet, then control the paint putting it on - it then bleeds together. Quite heavy watercolour paper is needed for this.
No need to tape paper as heavy paper stays straight.
I very much like charcoal sketching too rubbing and working the charcoal with finger to get effects !! great its mucky🤭😊
