Some of my favourites from the Whistler exhibition at Tate Britain. It's pretty cool to see all these in person. Whistler's mother is there too, but you know what that one looks like, right? #art #painting #exhibitions…
Summer Social with work, which is more than two dozen people now. So much bigger than it used to be.
Enjoyable enough. The boss picks pretty good people, all of whom I'd otherwise not meet at all really being remote. Beats working for a day.
This time a painting session. Drawing a picture. Here's how we draw this particular picture.
Everyone's painting ends up much the same, within a pretty tight variance. All end up with something that's not displeasing, even though hardly anyone paints normally, even the graphics people.
The key here I think is the subject of the image. Something easy to draw is key. Very few curves, mostly straight lines, easy vivid colors. Easily identifiable subject even if it's drawn badly.
If your lines and form are wobbly and weirdly angled then yeah, that's indeed what these trees are like. You just draw a slightly different tree.
Sky, haze, and ground in acrylic. Then chalk up the tree-trunks for some reason, before painting 'em white. Add some trunk-shade and flecks, do grass then flowers.
Easy recipe. Everyone gets a passing grade. Nobody's embarrassed coz they can't draw a nose.
Good first painting session since school. Maybe I'll do another one in another 30 years.

I visited an #art #exhibition of some works by #German artist Robert Andreas Drude who, among other things, merges disparate paintings to create interesting new work, like this "Bergpfad" mixed with Kitchen Maid. 🖼️

I found this #painting today at Krishna Matha #Udupi. Someone (most likely the artist themselves) left it outside the Swamiji's room as their offering.

I adore vampires, so this is hopefully the first #vampire #painting of many to come. 🧛♀️
This is my second ever #gouache piece! I wanted to challenge myself to create something original, rather than doing a study from a royalty-free reference like I did before.
I used 6 references for different elements of the painting, the pose and dress were mostly from a photo I took of myself specifically for this piece.
I also decided to call her Brenda. I don’t know why, it doesn’t really matter. But that’s her name.
