Do you often wonder how to get from studies and work on location, to studio paintings? In this video I share some thoughts on that , sharing aspects of a new body of work about the wonderfully sensory summer garden.
Although the process isn't a linear one and therefore there is no clever formula, I think that is one major advantage. There is so much fun, learning and unpredictability, this is what makes it exciting! We first of all have to get used to not knowing the end result!
The prework on location as well as several of the early paintings I share were created as part of an Emily Ball online course. You can find out more about Emily's teaching here: emilyballatseawhite.co.uk
"It has the feeling of longevity" -beautiful garden. Your painting approach is inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you. I’m glad that you enjoyed the video.
So exciting to see this process Liz, by coincidence I've been working on a similar idea of extending a small stuck on sketch into a larger piece, although my pieces are representational studies of a local harbour and beach
Hello Lois I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s good to shake things up a bit isn’t it? Interesting that you’ve been doing something similar - I really enjoy it as a technique. And I think there’s a lot more to be got from them back in the studio. Happy painting and drawing!
So interesting! I watched twice.
Thank you!- I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Liz for generously sharing your process. That was so useful
You are welcome. I’m glad you found the video useful. Nice to be sharing some studio process again.
Interesting. I have been drawing my own garden and intend to draw at the allotments. Drawing foliage is quite challenging, but worth the effort. Also, adding watercolour is interesting. I like the paintings you've done.
Hello thank you for your comments . Great that you’ve been drawing your own garden and allotments. It’s a brilliant way of connecting with those spaces and what’s important to you. I think for me I’m just trying to reflect the essence feel of the foliage rather than it literally - that can make it easier or at least more manageable.
Very interesting process. Thanks for sharing. Lovely work.
Hello Deborah I am glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Early days but hopefully I can evolve this group of work in the coming weeks.
Enjoyed your process & love the paintings in every stage - Thankyou
Thank you I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.
So very lovely Liz!
Thank you so much Pam- I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed that very much Liz, thank you. It's always interesting to see how you move through the various stages, from inspiration to early studies to beginning your paintings. Love the colour palette too!
Thank you so much Jillayne, I am so glad it was helpful. I always find the colours in the summer garden rather gorgeous so I am trying to reflect them here. I usually use a more limited colour palette so will see whether I end up with different and more minimal palettes in some. Time will tell. It's early days!
Hey 👋
Thank you Liz, it was wonderful to see that gorgeous garden and very interesting to see your process.
You are very welcome- I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video- yes the garden is fabulous isn’t it?
Thank you Liz, your videos are always inspiring and so interesting to see your process
Hi Mary, thank you for your feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. It's always fun to see how others do things. I have to admit that I don't ever settle on the same approach; always tweaking and adjusting as I go!
Hey 👋
Good video again Liz. There is something changing in your work. Not only the colors are different but also the forms. I love to see it.
Hi and thank you- I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video. Ooh that’s an interesting observation- I didn’t realise but I’m not surprised. I guess the more we psint, the more our work evolves- how exciting!
Hi 👋
I really like your work, but more important to me is I like you....I wish we were friends .... our work has great similarities . I would love to talk to you...but I am in Australia 😞🌹
Thank you so much. I am glad that you like the work and it's interesting that there are similarities between our work. It's great that social media allows so much more exchange between us artists. Thank you for commenting on my channel.
