2nd Jan 2017 'New Year Balloons' Acrylic on paper (14.8x10.5cm)
Day 2 and this isn't going to be as easy as I'd hoped, but no pain, no gain, right?
I took lots of photos at the NY party and I'd thought balloons would be an easy topic to help me 'warm up'.
I was so WRONG, as the lighting and the shadows meant that I worked over and over again, buckling the paper and my favourite medium, acrylic, couldn't save me. Frustratingly, I spent the majority of the day on this tiny painting.
I think the published result looks better than the real one.
NB: I won't use any editing tools to change the colours, but will try to display them as close to the original as possible.
Lessons learnt? Hmm, a few, I'm going to delve into one of the 3 arcylic books I've got and work on one technique and research backgrounds!
What are your thoughts?
