Plocket's Painting (Plocket)PlocketEvergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 865 Location: The playroom! Posted: 23 Feb 2006 09:28 pm Post subject: Plocket's Painting -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok here's my most recent painting. It's A5 sized and painted with watercolours. The scanner doesn't represent the colours brilliantly but you'll get an idea. _________________ A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands www.plocket.co.uk Back to top Becki Moderator Joined: 15 Feb 2006 Posts: 1106 Location: Over here and not there.

I bought one of those from Geoff Hamilton's garden from his actual plants not bought in. You share my love of all things nature then - that is so obvious otherwise you would not have been able to paint it so well. Have you neen to classes or on a botannical painting course. Thanks for sharing it with us. That wasn't so bad was it - so you can do it again in the future can't you. You can sleep well now - with a proud smile on your face too.

It's something I've never been able to do and envy your talent. _________________ Take care Kathy Back to top n Moderator Joined: 15 Feb 2006 Posts: 334 Posted: 24 Feb 2006 09:15 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fabulous, you have a real talent there! Such gorgeous colours too. Water colour has always seemed a wishy washy kind of medium, but maybe I should reconsider. n Back to top D Moderator Joined: 15 Feb 2006 Posts: 528 Location: North Yorkshire Posted: 24 Feb 2006 09:53 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gosh what a lovely painting, very botanical.

I'm lucky that painting and drawing is something that comes naturally to me. I think I have a good eye and know straight away whether I can paint something or not. Colours are important too and funnily enough I find it more difficult to paint pink flowers!!! My problem at this time of year is getting inspiration, and of course finding time, because I've usually got other things on the go too. Oooh that reminds me, I need to report on my knitting plans!!! Off to the right thread I go..... (Thank you everyone for your lovely words. They mean so much to me.) _________________ A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands www.plocket.co.uk Back to top somerset lad Moderator Joined: 18 Feb 2006 Posts: 249 Location: Taunton som Posted: 24 Feb 2006 05:00 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very good Plocket, i havent done any lately but must get back into it, you get a feeling of acheivement and you sound like myself, your own worst critic. No need it is great. _________________ grow it catch it eat it. Back to top Plocket Evergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 865 Location: The playroom! Posted: 24 Feb 2006 07:56 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you SL. It's strange but I hadn't painted for years and then last summer a friend of mine started to encourage me (nag me!!!) so I started again. It took a while to get back into the feel of things but I'm so glad I did. I'm going to try and do a painting a fortnight to keep my hand in - perhaps a tough ambition but hey ho!!! I'd love to see some of your work if you wouldn't mind - pretty please? _________________ A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands www.plocket.co.uk Back to top Greenlady Evergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 549 Location: Scotland!

I think that a really well done painting can represent a plant better than a photograph, a painting like this would be just right in a herbal book _________________ Don't eat fruit and nuts.
