The womb girls arts and crafts

Hi NannyAnny, I have two brushes one called a rack brush the other a comb brush. Both are great for doing grass although I prefer the comb brush it has brittles at different lengths which give a great grass effect. Also using different greens and a bit of white and even yello ochre,doing short strokes lighter at the top and darker to the bottom and of course darker area to show a shadow effect, plus you brush upwards. You have to take your time doing it to get the right effect but generally very easy technique to do.

Looks a great present from your grand daughter lots of bright colours there and it works too. Painting is so relaxing I am currently working on a giraffe painting so when that's done I will share it. 

Hi Gbear,

I've only dabbled with water colours. Both my brothers can paint and draw well, but that talent seems to have bypassed me!!  I watched a painting programme on TV last week, hoping to get some tips. She painted a grey tower, yellow, at which point I decided it wasn't for me!!

Hi NannyAnny,

Watercolor is not really my strong point but I have been having a practice, the one I have just done I actually like. Although I made a mistake with one of the trees but as I practice more I will get better at it. 

I like that! I'll keep trying! xxxx

I have done another couple of small paintings, the Giraffes is about A4 size the other I think 12×16cm or approx 4×6 inch just over. My first very small painting.

Although kinda funny when I inserted them the smallest one looks the biggest.

Excellent Gbear, I especially love the movement in the 2nd one. 

Sometimes you just need a bit of light relief and its surprising, well it certainly surprised me how I found arts and crafts to be very relaxing. No one has to be prefect but it's great to share an achievement. Many have found it a great distraction.

My latest

GBear, that's fantastic.  I don't get on here so often these days, so can see how your painting is just getting better and better.

I just love crafting I've been rolling flowers for shadow boxes. 

Oh I like that . Must of taken ages to roll all those flowers, its a great effect too. Is that glass on top with the writing?
