RE: [CR] Lancaster County Morning
It's amazing how you created such painting with just a couple of colors. I like your inspiration as well and to be honest I think that your painting is much better than the photo :) You brought us the sunny morning how you saw it and now we can see it too :) It's beautiful.
It's cool that you are flexible with the techniques. And it shows that you are a very creative artist who knows what he is doing. I like that you paint with your fingers. How long does it take you to wash them afterwards? I can imagine that the color stick to them :)
Thank you for sharing! It's been nice to be part of your sunny morning in Lancaster County :)
Thanks for reading the post! I appreciate that very much. It definitely looked different as I was standing there. Sometimes when it comes to color..less is more. I am happy you saw my vision and agree that the use of just a few colors still created a visual impact.
Paint comes off pretty easy from my fingers with a little soap and water. Blues are the colors that can stain pretty quickly if you leave them on for a while. I try to wash up every 20 min or so. I like to try different styles and techniques, but not sure I have any clue what I am doing yet..lol. Being self taught, I seem to bounce around a lot more than those who have found a niche. I sort of like it this way though.
Thanks again for the support @delishtreats!
So the trick is to wash them up every 20 minutes :) When you talk about blue.. I remember when I was a child and we were picking up the blueberries and eating them straight from the container. They would squeeze between the fingers and we wouldn't be able to get the color off for a week or so :D
You're doing a very good job for being self taught :) Maybe you will find your niche over time too and if not you'll just do what you like :)
Have a good day!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Oh yes.. Blueberries. They do stain, don't they?! I really haven't found an oil paint of mine that stains to badly. Even the blue will come off with a little spirit. Probably not the best idea to have it on your hands..Who knows what kind of chemicals and stuff are in them.
Again.. Thank You for the encouragement!
