I recently discovered that I enjoy very much making watercolor paintings. I have always been intimidated( or even scared) of watercolor because I always thought that it is very difficult to handle and you can't allow yourself room to fix something if you make a mistake. Although I have worked with watercolor previously I never enjoyed it and that pretty much suffocated the creative side of me while handling the paint. All in all, it was experience that I meticulously tried to avoid whenever possible. I never took pleasure in it and there were 2 reasons for that- first, because I thought myself not gifted enough and second, because I lacked the knowledge and experience. Now, for the gifted side of the problem I couldn't do much, but I decided to work on the second part concerning knowledge and experience. I signed up for a simple watercolor class, where I would learn the basics of working with this media. I found it quite a pleasurable experience, our teacher was great and I think now that I have better understanding of the way you work with this kind of material, things come more naturally and I no longer feel the discomfort of working with it. As a matter of fact it produces quite the opposite feelings- I enjoy it very much indeed! So I wanted to share with you the 10 watercolor paintings I made recently and I would be very pleased if you share your opinion on the subject and let me know which ones you enjoy the most.
1. A simple Bird of Paradise flower arrangement- now is the time to mention that one of the things I disliked in painting with watercolor was painting flowers! I challenged myself in making couple of flower paintings and to be honest I exceeded my expectations.
2.
3. One of the most difficult things I ever experiences was painting snow. Painting this winter forest was very tricky.
4. The second flower arrangement I made.
5. Fall landscape, one of my first watercolors.
6. This one I made while looking at a picture our teacher brought to class.
7. One of the landscapes I painted.
8. Second landscape.
9. Landscape with birds.
10. And last landscape.
Let me know what you think!

Ани, нямам думи. Приказни, прекрасни, наистина великолепни красоти си сътворила. Браво.
ReplyDeleteИволина, знаеш ли, аз доста се притеснявах да ги покажа. От много време не съм се занимавала с рисуване, а с акварел пък съвсем ( повече графика), но сега след като се запалих да опитвам и други неща, записах се и на курс маслени бои, мисля да изкарам един скулптура ако има някъде..просто попълвам празнините в образованието, което трябваше да получа, а нямах възможност.
ReplyDeleteРадвам се, че ти харесват, това са опити на съвсем начинаещ, но се надявам по-нататък да мога да покажа и по-сериозни неща.
Коя ти е любима?
Аз съм влюбена в последната! Ииии.. тази с листата също мноооого! :)
ReplyDeleteАбе всички са мнооого пипнати! Хич не бих познала, че са на начинаещ!:)
Ани от цветните ме грабва първат, а от пейзажните тази с птиците и номер7. Мнного хубаво си постигнала триизмерност. Чудесни каварели!
ReplyDeleteМного са чисти! Възхитително чисти. А това е трудно. Аз имам малки забележки по отношение на колорита. Обаче аз съм направо луда на тема цвят, та не се връзвай :) Много за "японски" според мен - особено стрелицията и снега. :)
ReplyDeleteДомошар, аз имам едни конкретни идеи за акварелите ;-) ама трябва да видя кога ще имам възможност да ги осъществя. :-) Това бяха по-скоро "учебни" таква, сега ми остава да си намеря моя стил :-)
ReplyDeleteБраво,за желанието и за изпълнението!Пейзажите са много по-свободни-харесват ми-1,3,5,9.Коментарът ми е доста закъснял,надявам се вече да видя "твоя стил"...?!
