Somebody last week wanted to see the Rainbow when it is finished. Now this one is on my wall. My first paining and I will share it on my exhibition in November.   :)

This week I share no photo except for the one at the bus stop that was the cause of the Crack series. At that time I was not good at editing in Photo Shop and spent several hours to fix the image as I wanted it.

I also tried some yarn work.Not yet learned how thick the paint shall be.

 It took me some trouble to figure out how to transfer the image from the screen to the paper. There was some computer, needle and pencil work involved in order to transfer the crack from the computer to the paper.

Being tricked by my eyes!
When I worked with this post I realized my eyes and brain did not see the crack image as it was.
I painted White on black and was thinking black on white for the opposite side. BUT, the original is different shades of white on white! An importent thing to learn I guess. If I some day get really good at this I will try all the shades that is in the original image.



OUCH..........this was a long one.

Rainy backdrop, my first attempt with acrylic oil, on paper 14,8x21 cm white, grain.
After almost three weeks I finally got the paint and pencils, but no panels. They were not in store. And the delay of the colors was due to our post office. They are not reliable nowadays. :( 

I painted this on the paper and it was a good way to learn how paint and pencils work. But I did not dare to sign them. Tried to "write" with the pencil with no luck. But, it is possible to paint, but not write, with a toothpick. :)

I took a photo of the backdrop. It does not really look like the video I studied but I liked the way the white curves contrasted to the more or less grey surface. So I kept one image that way. Will probably do some more work with black and white only. I would have liked if the paper had been more square. The tree should have come up higher.
