RE: Watercolour Paintings; Bleujay's 'Christ-mas Card'....to Hive....

in #art2 months ago
  • Hi @bleujay , I am looking at your artwork and loved it. Someone who captures the essence of a flower the way you do, must have a beautiful aura, and be very spiritual. You know I am a 70 year old person, and at this point in my life, decided to look for something nice to do, and chose to learn how to paint landscapes. So far a lady teaches me how to sketch directly from a reference. I am a teacher, and what I might know is the basics in terms of colors and irregular strokes. I would like to get some advice from you for a beginner like me. Heh, heh, heh. Greetings and love 😍.

Greetings @numa26 ,

Thank you for writing so kindly about my artworks. ^__^

Lovely to hear of your choice of Art as a subject to learn more about.

To answer to your query of advise for a new Art student.

If one desires to become an artist....

*They need the three D's; Desire, Determination, Dedication.

*They need an instructor....(so happy to hear you have one....choose one that paints similiar to the style, you desire to learn.)

*They need to practice everyday.

Best Practice: is to use your own reference material...subject matter which you photographed yourself.

Hope this assists in this new journey for you.

Principle: It's an elephant, one bite at a time.

Happy Christ-mas to you and yours, Bleujay

Oye, @bleujay, gracias por tus recomendaciones. Te cuento que hoy, culminé mi primer paisaje. Y la verdad es que no quedó tan mal, para ser la primera vez. Te confieso que no es fácil, pero me divertí mucho haciéndolo y tratando de imitar los detalles, aunque no se parezca mucho al original. Gracias, amigo, Sabrás de mí, pues voy a hacer mi post e historia de esa primera pintura, y me gustaría conocer tu valiosa opinión al respecto.

  • Hey, @bleujay, thanks for your recommendations. I tell you that today, I finished my first landscape. And the truth is that it didn't turn out too bad, for a first time. I confess that it's not easy, but I had a lot of fun doing it and trying to imitate the details, even though it doesn't look much like the original. Thanks, my friend, you will hear from me, because I am going to make my post and history of that first painting, and I would like to know your valuable opinion about it.
