| I painted a Bird of Paradise flower in my A-Z challenge as Xotic flower for 'X' but thought it would make a good brusho painting, because of the vibrant orange. The bleach wouldn't complete take out the blue, so it has left a lovely texture that was quite by accident! |

| This is Sharon Whitley's Challenge for February, photograph by Gary Jones Was going to to it in watercolour, but Brusho called and I listened. Great fun. |
Have a lovely week and remember Spring is round the corner for us Northern Hemisphere people.
Love the birds of paradise! I like the way you have the stems crossing...nice composition. The bird is great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan. Have a good week
DeleteWow, Polly, what a nice paintings!!! How did you achieve this exact flower and leave shape in the flowers?????
ReplyDeleteQuite a lot of bleach was used for the flower after doing the orange background, then going back in with colour. But to be honest I can't remember how I did the rest, sorry.
Deletewonderful paintings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Celeste, happy painting this week
DeleteLes effets obtenus sont très beaux!
ReplyDeleteBonne semaine, Polly.
Vous etes tres gentille. Merci pour votre commentaires. Bonne semaine!
DeleteBoth wonderful , really love the abstract with such gorgeous colors , but the eagle is fabulous too !
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane. I actually enjoyed painting the scary eagle
DeletePolly both of these are super! The eagle is such a magnificent bird. This Brusho really makes some gorgeous colors. I also love the texture you caught in the Bird of Paradise. Surprises that work out are always the best! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them Debbie, it's lovely of you to comment.
DeleteBoth really look great, Polly! The first one is a very beautiful semi-abstract full of life and dynamism. The second is so dramatic!
ReplyDeleteHad fun painting both these, thanks for your comments.
DeleteLove the duo of orange and blue in your bird of paradise. Such complementing colors. And your eagle is a real piece of work. I feel it's coming right through a window. Striking!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen, and nice of you to pop by and for your lovely comments
DeleteOh, wow, Polly, these are both spectacular, strong ... but so different too. The eagle is fierce! And I really love the bird of paradise (a favorite flower of mine), not just the flower itself, but the background too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura. It's brusho that does a lot of it and just help it
DeleteHow lovely paintings, hugs!
ReplyDeleteMuy buenas, Polly. Enhorabuena!
ReplyDeleteAbrazos.
Wow, gorgeous work!! I learned something new- brusho and bleach. I love the effects they produced!
ReplyDeleteBleach is a very exciting effect and the white paper appears as if my magic.
