Drifting

From field sketch to studio painting, here is a scene I quickly sketched while at the Cumberland Falls last summer.  As I was standing along the rock fence overlooking the river below the falls, the sun was popping in and out from behind the  clouds backlighting the trees.  While sketching the scene, a man that I saw fishing at the base of the falls drifted  along the edge of the river into my view.  I quickly sketched him in.

Inside My Sketchbook ~

As the new year started, I have been working on ink sketches to use for paintings later on.  Since beginning to work with acrylic ink early last year, I have been loving!! this medium.  Every time I do a new technique, I burst with excitement and smile.  It is a feeling of being 'home'.

Eagle Falls

One of my favorite landscape elements to paint is water.  Waterfalls are especially fun!  This is Eagle Falls located @ Cumberland Falls State Park

Peace

I was driving by the Stearns Cemetary the other day and saw this little scene.  Something told me, "go back".  I turned the car around and went back to take a photo, but the light I had seen was gone.  I am so thankful for my memory and ability to paint, cause sometimes...the camera just cannot capture what I see.

Acrylic Ink ... A new beginning

For a while now, I have felt myself moving in the direction of a more fluid medium.  I have tried to push the fluid boundary of high-viscosity acrylics to no avail.  At least for me.  So...I was looking at the different mediums available, and Aha!  Acrylic Ink - highly pigmented, lighfast, and permanant color.  The ink brushes on with the same 'fliud' characteristics of that of watercolor.  Here is an example of one of my first attempts.

So...for now...I am going to just go with the flow, and see where this new medium will take me.

Take Care,  Trish
