Brush and Palette Knife Attempts

Hello!

One of the interesting things about learning how to paint is that I'm also learning to slow down and enjoy the process. 

I actually had no idea how hurried my mind was and it's an amazing feeling to take time and immerse myself in the now! 

It's been freeing!

Here are the next three paintings I've done. The first is a Modern Abstract. It is my third painting. The original was on a Youtube video. While I'm learning, I'm just copying the technique.


I absolutely loved making this one. Definitely a style I love and I will make more! 

The next one is Modern Impressionism. This is my fourth painting.



I'm not sure if I'm overly happy with this one, but I'm just learning. 

I also tried a different technique on a 5x7 canvas. I'm not happy with this one, but wanted to try. Technically though, it's my fifth painting.


The hardest part of painting is knowing when you're done. So I played a bit more with the last one. Not sure if it's better, but I prefer it!

Well, that's all for now! Hope you're enjoying my creative journey!

Blessings!
Carmen

While I'm learning, I've copied as my inspiration from:
Painting with Jane, A Walk in the Rain / Osnat, Reflection / Robert Jurisich, layering technique

    Wow. I love the style that is shining through in these paintings. Actually, my favourite is the one you didn't like that much. It puts me in mind of city traffic on a very rainy day. I could imagine seeing this in a gallery if it were on a larger canvas. Well done.

      Thank you! I'm not sure which style I prefer, and to be honest, I get bored easily, so maybe variety is good!
