The inspiration for these three little feathers came from a real feather, but the paintings look nothing like it. Oh well. Looking at real objects while painting helps me get better shapes and forms, even if I ignore the actual colors and insert my own.
So here are my nearly-identical versions of the feather in gorgeous blues!
Beautiful paintings! I love the blue interpretations, really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura!
DeleteI do this too - use photos or objects as a reference for shape, structure and tone but then I play with colours :) lovely feathers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna- I'm glad you use that trick too!
DeleteThese are just beautiful, Elise.

Lovely and simple! May I ask how you managed to leave the fine white line in the centre unpainted? x
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just painted around that line to leave it white. It was hard, but doable. You could use masking fluid to get the white line also.
