Yes you heard it officially from me, I am a big fan now of brusho, but realise that it may not be something I will do a lot of until next summer. I don't know why, but painting with it in the outdoors seems the right thing to do, with all the lovely vibrant flowers in the garden, and the beautiful bright blue sky above me. (they are not all done in the garden I might add) So, here are some more from this summer.
Also, for a while I will be back be back painting in my first love of Watercolour (you will find out why in my next post) and later on fancy trying water based oils (it's many a long day since I used oils). So enjoy seeing this lovely vibrant medium with it's bright summery colours.

Here's an ephalump (my childhood word) first drawn with ink and twig, then paint sprinkled on and then sprayed. I really didn't do any painting, it painted itself! |
|
Same method as above, but a pencil line first and some wax. But careful painting done to bring out the flower |
|
Here is a more gentle use of brusho, leaving some of the sprinkled texture on and then some exciting spraying and tipping
As we say goodbye to summer and hello autumn with it's lovely rich oranges, gold and rusts perhaps I may squeeze in another outdoors painting, weather permitting
Have a lovely autumn.

DeleteLooks like you're enjoying the Brusho and getting nice results. I like the vibrancy you get with it!!! A friend of mine has been using it a bit, but we were talking about whether it is lightfast or not. She tried getting info from the company but hasn't gotten an answer that satisfies her, so even though she is enjoying it she will not sell any pieces she has done with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Your friend might like to look at brushomoments on facebook, or www.BrushoSecrets.com. where you might be able to contact Joanne Boon Thomas who has been painting and selling her work for years. Or, contact ColourCraft in the UK who she buys the brusho from. It is a dye like ink crystals, so should be ok. But I am not qualified to assist here. If you can't contact her, then get back onto me and I will try and contact her for you.Though I will be out of contact for 2 wks. Hope this helps.
DeleteLovely paintings Polly, I like the last one particularly! Hope you enjoy getting back to your watercolours and you got the transport thingies sorted out!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Oh and thanks for remembering about the transport. Courier collected case yesterday and off by train to London tomorrow. Phew, all sorted. Enjoy your last few days painting this month if you have time. I have enjoyed seeing what you have been up to, including the post about your dog.
DeleteThe colors are real eye openers and I really love the flowers !
