Hello!
Cleaning up my account I found some nice conversation between us! How are you?
Do you still paint?
It has been a long while I touched acrylics, and I take only now and then photos.. I guess the everyday's life keeps us a bit away from the art, don't you think?
I wish you all the best!
Greets,
Kristina

It has been quite a while. But I am finally finding my painting voice again and have been actively at work. I have a few finished pieces and will be posting again soon. I really miss all of the nice conversations and the community. Sorry that I was away so long and missed your message.
I hope that you are well.

Kai

Your work is absolutely wonderful. From what I gather, the watercolor style with ink over top seems so simple yet is comes across so impressively. I have yet to try something like that, but look forward to it. Thanks for being an inspiration!

kaiorton In reply to kelsanthemum [2010-08-27 23:53:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for looking at my work and for the comments. My paintings to far are all watercolour where specified. I use a blend of Vandyke Brown, Burnt Umber and Payne's Grey for the lining of the trees. I do this free hand, so each tree is born of the brush and of my memory/imagination.

Ink is an intriguing idea. I will have to check how that would affect the colour of watercolours overtime. But I am very curious to try this now as well

kelsanthemum In reply to kaiorton [2010-08-28 13:01:16 +0000 UTC]

Ah, well thank you for clarifying. You are much more brave than I am, using entirely watercolors!
I would be very interested to see how ink would look in comparison to the watercolor lines. Darker, certainly, and perhaps a bit smoother? We will have to wait and see!

Best wishes.

Heya Both

No I have not had time or space to paint much. But I plan to restart the paints and break out the brushes in a month or so. Gosh I miss it so much. How have you been?

both In reply to kaiorton [2010-01-09 19:49:18 +0000 UTC]

Hi, Kai. Good to hear from you. I know how frustrating it is not to have enough space - my apartment has about enough room for a bed and a desk. I sketch a bit, but art just doesn't feel right to me unless paint thinners are involved.

I've been well. Trying to finish school before I go crazy from all this monotonous university business, and not much else.

Ah yes...I have been away for a while. Can you believe I signed in randomly to find this....talk about overwhelming _O: I have been busy with grad school and moved into an apartment that is nearly impossible to paint in. IT makes me sad. I have not painted in way too long. ow's about you though...where are you living these days?
