Hello everyone!

It will be nice to see new projects.

I found some grey scale soft pastels and will be doing a project with them soon. Might even try a landscape, never did one in black and white, I am sure it will be a challenge.

Cooler and less humid the past couple days, hope it lasts.

Have a blessed day yall!

Hey Dickhutchings if I have to try to like something then I really don't like it. No sense in using a medium you don't care for. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your paintings.

Susan you are doing some remarkable work lately. I just love that rabbit. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

I know what your saying Terry but artists have been using oil paint for an awful long time. I think I just need to get used to them and the new brush cleaning process.

After a gazillion days of rain, the sunshine has returned.

I am doing a happy dance today...

This is what I have been working on ever since I finished the Villa on the Caribbean. This is most definitely the most complicated painting I've done to date. I plan to take my time on this one. I'm not at all sure I can pull it off, but I really want to try.

This is the reference:

Wheel Horse Vehicle Tire Building

Wow!! That's a real nice drawing Terry. I'd be tempted to leave it at that.

Of course you can do it Terry. A great picture, full of life and light and shade. Go for it and I'll look forward to the finished item. Up and at it.....:smile:

I'm planning to add a little more color than the reference photo. I think the upper part of the building is looking drab in the reference picture.

Thanks for the encouragement Liz. The meds I'm now taking are great for steading my hands and I hope to be able to draw and paint for years to come.

Oh boy, I have a digital tablet now!?*% I just started using a program called ArtRage, the free version for now but it seems pretty good. It allows me to use wet paint which is cool. It's going to take a while just to get used to zooming and moving around and finding things. More fun with art!

Cool. The beauty of a digital art program is that you can use it anywhere and there is no cleanup! Have fun.

fantastic dick which tablet did you get?
which version of artrage are you using?

dickhutchings

· #37 · Aug 27, 2016

So far I'm using the demo version but I plan on buying the full later on. The tablet is a monoprice 10x6.25. My biggest issue is that I'm left handed so the buttons get pressed by my hand. I also get paint unexpectedlyrics now and then.

monoprice 10x6.25 great size to start on =)
don't buy the software, I will send you a pro key just make sure you like it first, mail me on here when you want the key it's free of course!
I'd not heard of it until you mentioned it so I had to have a play lol made the pic below

is it the latest version version 4?

can't wait to see what you create!
