When to stop...



Dit is zo'n schilderij waarbij ik me afvroeg wanneer ik moest stoppen. Ik twijfel nog of ik op tijd gestopt ben. Maar het was leuk om met al die rode kleuren te spelen! Erg therapeutisch! :)

With this painting I was wondering when to stop. Still not sure I stopped in time. But it was fun to play with all those reds! Very therapeutic! :)

Vind hem geweldig mooi. En stoppen op tijd? Ja dat is een gevoel en ik denk bij iedereen anders. Hij is echt mooi en met een prachtige waas.

I totally understand you, Judy. I'm working in a pencil portrait, it's hard to stop! I keep going, it's fun and addictive! I think your painting is beautiful, not overworked. xx

Vandy zei

I think it's lovely - but I do so know that feeling of wanting to keep on painting. It is so hard to stop.

Polly Birchall zei

It's a lovely painting. Isnt it nice to paint something in juicy reds?

Sandra Busby zei

I think it is beautiful and those colours are still fresh and lovely! :0)

Jenny Short zei

It is soft and beautiful. You lost your whites. To balance that you can add some darks behind the leaves to make them pop out more, if you want. Just my critique. xo Jenny

Tito zei

Lovely work, Judy. I think you stopped in time, is a beautiful watercolor! Ciao!

Judy zei

Thank you Vandy, Polly, Sandra, Jenny and Tito!

Jenny, your critique is always appreciated! I agree, I lost my whites!

Catharina Engberg zei

About loosing the whites. (I use to do that too!)I thought about one more thing except from making it darker around some of the leaves to make them pop-out more. You can also make a couple more of the leaves a little brighter red. Those leaves that are brighter red also seems to pop-out more. I love this flower. It brightened-up my page! Take care!

Anns Art zei

You got this just perfect Judy! Having continued and not stopped, you have built up this piece and given it depth...and oh so Christmassy* (*not sure I spelt that right...hoho!)

Danielle v/d Horst zei

Erg mooi geworden Judy heel sfeervol lieve groetjes Danielle

Judy zei

Thank you Catharina! In real life there is more depth in the painting, the computerscreen does not do it justice.

Thank you Ann! Christmassy sounds and looks right to me! :)

Dankje Danielle!

Tina Moriano zei

Es algo que nos pasa a todos. Te ha quedado preciosa. Un abrazo

It's beautiful Judy , with or without whites. When I loose my whites I often just lift off the colors with a humid brush ...works wonderfully. xx

Rita Vaselli zei

Dear Judy, ended the week in my family, I take my habits.
Often my watercolors, for the love of color, loose white.
I do not know if it is good or bad. It happens.
There are large well-known artists with very white and others, even those famous, very colorful. I try to go where your heart takes me ... I like this poinsettia because it gives a sense of warmth, like Christmas in which this plant is connected(In Italy, called the Star of Christmas.) Have a great week, Rita.

Nora MacPhail zei

Beauty! Nice delicate touch.

Jenny Frith zei

i just love that art can be therapeutic. your poinsettia is beautiful!

Hanneke zei

Mooi hoor, wanneer te stoppen is altijd een probleem, groetjes Hanneke (eindelijk klaar met klussen en hopelijk weer wat meer tijd om bij te lezen en te schilderen)

Judy zei

Thank you Jane, Rita, Nora and Jenny!

Dankjewel Hanneke!
