Hello...
My it's turned cold here... Autumn has definitely arrived
I've not had any inclination to make much lately, I spent 2 days doing the Thursday Club stuff and the evening was manic! I've been itchy to try something different. I'm no artist by any means but today I was doodling, trying to draw a boat and it turned into this
It's not marvelous but just a little something different - it's just done on ordinary (inexpensive) cardstock so I only gave it a light wash of watercolour
I love boats and anything sea related ... What do you think?
Maybe too bland huh?
Then whilst I was looking for something in one of the many cupboards in this house, would you believe I came across a pack of acrylic paints - unopened, never used! Well I had to do something...So after going through a few things on Pinterest I came across 'How to paint a beach' Here.... Well, I deliberated whether to share this 'cos it's my first attempt but what the heck ... here you go
Hee hee, I had fun though, and Hubby thought it was fine
I'll be back tomorrow with my post for Our Beautiful World which incidentally has the word prompt Paint, then I am off for a little holiday early Tuesday morning so I'll catch up with you in a week or so ...
Take care and thanks so much for your visit

You don't give yourself nearly enough credit, my friend! You are indeed an artist--in many ways! I just love your drawing & painting--wonderful work! I'd frame that first attempt--hubby is right! Enjoy your holiday--hope you get some sun as I know you love warmth!
ReplyDeleteI think your boat looks amazing that's what! I CANNOT draw. That's why I like stamps. LOL Great job with the acrylics too. It's always fun to dabble with other media and see what you like. Have fun on your holiday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI think both your paintings are fantastic! You continually amaze me. Sheesh, and all I've done is turn my stamp room into a mess, trying to create a more creativity-inducing space. Think it will work? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Ros, trying something new! Art is subjective, so anything I would say is mute! Wonderful that you want to paint, I love it! Happy days are spent in the world of art!
ReplyDeleteCold, oh, that's a pity? Please, come over here, the weather is really fine with sunshine and high temperatures (-:
ReplyDeleteDoodling? Wow, I thought you used a stamp. The boat is amazing, your card pretty. Love it!!!
I love your card with the boat, sure is serene and calm.
ReplyDeleteYou are multi-talented Ros, love your first try on that beach scene!
Enjoy your vacation sweetie and I hope you can soak up some sun and lovely temperatures. Your card with the boat is true gem in a perfect CAS design. And your drawing is perfect! Your painted see is just as gorgeous; wow!
ReplyDeleteXXXXX
This can NOT be your first attempt, you must be kidding! And your boat or the card as a whole doesn't look bland at all - it's got some early morning misty feel about it somehow.
ReplyDeleteYou look like an artist to me ;). Beautiful projects, love! They make me long for a trip to the ocean. Sigh. Gotta love my land-locked state!
