winter time

By Robert Meredith -
This is inspired by artist David Howell. I used this scene as another demo task for my classes. This took a little time with so many layers and drying time between each step. I did enjoy preparing this task.

Tiger's face

This was a result of using pastel pencil on pastelmat paper, this was a demonstration done in an art class last month.  Having spent a term in this class working in pencil and watercolour on pastel mat, and being inspiried by Jason Morgan a Welsh pastel and oil painting artist.  I was suprised how great the paper takes layers of pastel.  This was very engaging to do with the use of watercolour washes as the first layer and then added pastel pencil strokes to build up the tones and the final stages of the white wiskers were added at the end, I particulary like the eyes. I hope to attempt this method on my Spaniel again.

This was my class demo last week. Based on a practice attempt I did before. This is taken from artist Joseph Alleman. I really love this image, the colour, the subject matter. It is now on my wall framed in the house. I intend to try more in this style and colour range. Love it.

After Rob Adams - Village scene

This was my second attempt at this scene for one of my classes. I like Rob Adams work. This took 3 hours in the classroom and I just like the style of the markmaking.  I get such enjoyment in doing this kind of image.  It is so easy to adapt the method and here I applied ore colour to the image.

Sunrise on a quiet village - ink and watercolour

By Robert Meredith -

This image was inspired by an art work by Rob Adams . I love his work and the style of pen and ink is great, very loose and free. This is my attempt of creating a task for my classes. I used an A3 sheet of mixed media paper and sketched out in pencil its outline and enough information before I progressed to watercolour. I used cerulean blue and a warm yellow for the sky area. I added some darker tones over the existing layers. This was left to dry. Then I added the ink work.  With dipping pen and bottled ink.  I loved the whole process and it was great to add my own creativity to this image.  I find pen and ink great to use as you can stop for breaks and feel no.pressure, very relaxing. This took about 2 to 3 hours to complete.  Here is the process of adding the ink work.
