My painting of Malabar headlands while standing on the rocks is now at the framer and no longer on my desk. But, I know woyww is easy going. Using Daniel Smith granulating watercolours provided interesting effects on the rocks. Very happy to have used my own handmade red and yellow ochre watercolours in the foreground rock. Still working on getting the watery painted effects.
Enjoy your week as you peek at everyones desk.
Well, I've never heard of granulated watercolours before! You live and learn..... so pleased that your own paints made into the painting as well. It's a great view btw, I could live with that on the wall!

Well I thought it was a photo. And then..huh? Granulated water colours. The things you didn’t know you didn’t know. I expect all serious artists know about them. Really nice to use your own paint in a real painting, such a nice thing to loook at something and say ‘I did that’ and mean it right down to the making of the colour. You’re amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh well done you, Sandra.. when saw your rocks, wondered if youd used your ochre! That's a first for you! Own paints made by your fair hsnd as well as Daniel Smith's! Mind you I too have never heardof him ir granulated water colours!
ReplyDeleteI took delivery of a 24 set by Gansai Tambi, I was particularly interested because reviews said they were opaque rather thsn translucent, ie more like gouache it sounded like to me. Yet to try properly. Just did colour pallette.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you.

Sandra, that picture is absolutely stunning... I really love the intriguing rock formations in the foreground and you have captured them superbly. Ochre is a favourite colour of mine, and well done for designing your own. I just love this painting...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit, and yes, Lily and Ruby do rather steal the show, don't they! My hubby and I keep saying how thrilled we are with them, that we really fell on our feet with these 2 kitties, and we love them so much! They are our babies and we can't imagine life without them now. They are endlessly fascinating and entertaining and I've taken soooo many photos of them! I'm glad you like my Celtic patterns too.
Happy WOYWW,

I too thought you were showing us a photograph. Honestly Sandra, you paint beautifully and never cease to amaze me with your fur and feather paintings but this is something else. I love how you have painted the rocks in the foreground and I am impressed by the water.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very special talent, thank you for sharing it with us all.

Hi Sandra, as always, an amazing piece. It's fun to see how you've progressed over the years.Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra. It's so good to "see" you again. I hope all is good in sunny Sydney. Your painting is just beautiful. I could just dip my toe in that water. I have been having a go myself but just for fun and certainly not good enough to share.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, wow - that is a gorgeous painting, and with some of your own paints too. I'm sure it will take pride of place in your home. I quite agree with you that all the Coronavirus talk is depressing - now I have something to look forward to! Have a lovely week Heather xx #6
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece. I've never heard of these granulated watercolours. Your skills just get better and better. Sending woyww hugs, Angela xxx
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a photo as well. What a talent you have. Anne X 15
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of granulated watercolours, but I have been to check it out. Love your painting. Angela #28
ReplyDeleteWow Sandra that is an amazing piece of work. Love the idea that you used some of your home made paints from local rocks in it too. Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #1
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a fantastic painting! I thought it was a photo until I read the post! And the fact that you used home made paint made from the actual rock has added a totally new dimension to the painting - mind blown - kaboom! Thanks for your visit, Lindart #22
ReplyDeleteA wonderful painting - never heard of granulating water colours but they have certainly worked perfectly for you. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness! Your painting is simply stunning! I have a huge fear of water colours & paints in general ... give me a spray bottle of ink any day please! Sorry for late reply - I did get back to all my lovely visitors only to see not one comment posted ... forget the technology of my ipad .. am back on my trusty old laptop! Love to you, Debbie xXx
ReplyDeleteThat's sooo pretty. I'd hang it in my studio if I had wall space. Thanks for sharing! Creative Blessings! Kelly #27
ReplyDeleteJust saw this as I visited today's WOYWW (I was AWOL last week!) - I thought it was a photograph at first - it's absolutely amazing, I have no idea how you have made the rocks look so rock like! I am super-impressed that you are using your own hand-made colours too.
