My Sketchbook - Work in progress

Below are some of my sketches from 12 July 2016

A sketchbook is great for experimenting with new concepts and ideas and I see it as a powerful problem-solving tool that I can return to later and use for developing my next art project.

Sketching gives me the freedom to illustrate my thoughts and what’s in my mind. It’s a safe space to experiment and generate ideas; somewhere I can test and play with shapes and colors before committing to my next project/artwork.




Today I am making sketches using a pale blue colour in combination with either yellowor pink.

An example of where I have have used these three colours in the same painting can be seen in my painting Squares in Blue and Pink

I am also trying out using watercolour paper today, instead of acrylic paper.

Today:
* Mixing colours
* Combining different blues, yellows and pinks
* Using white for highlights
* Painting with acrylics
* Two-coloured sketches
* Painting on watercolour paper
* Exploration of geometric shapes & forms

Thanks for visiting!

Acrylic paintings

Paintings created with acrylics have a fantastic brightness which make colours appear more vivid, resulting in a remarkable three-dimensional effect. These original paintings do not require any additional framing and the canvas is about 38mm deep.

Elin's paintings are all painted on box canvas with acrylic paint. These are original works of art (and therefore more expensive than posters, prints or commercially printed canvases).

As this is original paintings, there will only be one piece of each painting availble for sale
