The 'Crafty Group' was created as a group for those with artistic skills to come and create and share their inspiration with other like minded individuals. I am fascinated by geometric design and made various studies finally producing my own matrix designs.
While doing a art course with open college of art as part of mastering Technics and using colour I was encouraged to produce pictures in the like of great artists.
Degas the great impressionist artist did studies of ballet dancers. I produced this quick sketch followed by water colour dancers.
This is my initial colour study.
Taking stills of dancers I was able to produce this study.
I am a great doodler. I worked out this matrix with pen and paper transferring it to acrylic on card.
During the crafty time I painted some flowers in gouache.
One of our crafters suggested that I do some pictures in the style of Monet. Of course these are not an exact rip but I tried to use the same colour pallet.
I enjoy playing with colour and working on the water lilies. so much so I painted a large lily.I tried to create form and texture using mainly white paint and blocks of colour.
To follow the theme of pattern I decided to try an illuminated letter.
The clarity of colour is produced by the use of gouache.
Here is another geometric design. A triangular matrix can be seen which I may use in the future to produce patchwork.
My first attempt at Chinese brushwork. 'Sympathy'
This Second attempt at Chinese painting started as an pen and ink outline with gouache fill but quickly developed into a colour study.
