Amaryllis using Brushos

Second Attempt

Feeling inspired by watching Alison C Board demonstrating the use of Brushos on Hochanda TV I thought I would have a go.  She makes it look so easy.  I have some very old pots of Brushos left over from when my daughters were doing Art at school but have only ever used them to make background papers for cards.  

My first attempt was going well but I overworked it and it became messy. I might try lifting it by adding some white paintmarker like I did with my previous acrylic version, but that's another day.

First attempt

Much happier with the second attempt.  Love the vibrant colours and unpredictability of Brushos. x

Amaryllis

Joined a new art class in January but haven't been putting my work on here as they are copies of other artists work rather than my own.  This is my first original piece of work since moving over a year ago.  It is based on a photo of an Amaryllis growing in a pot in our garden. We did actually paint the fences blue in the courtyard area and it is not artistic licence on my part.  Painted in Acrylic I originally used just a palette knife but didn't achieve the look I wanted. I tidied it up a bit using a brush and then added some loose outlines with white paint marker. x
