Sometimes putting things on paper is not easy 🙂 You have to try again and again and wonder why things that seem so clear when you look at them just don’t get right…
I’ve been always enchanted by water –Â especially moving water with all it’s waves, and whirls, and ripples… And I’ve spent incredible amount of time trying to reflect it on a flat paper and studying how others do that, both in museums and at school lessons.
Here are some of my tries.
As usual, click / tap a picture to see it in bigger size.
-
- Studying water and buildings in my lovely Florence / Firenze and river Arno
-
- Falling water try
-
- The same place in pencil – tried to capture the lights and darks
-
- At the sunset. This one was like 20-min quick snapshot, chasing the time 🙂 Later i worked on it at home to make it more “finished”
-
- Another quick snapshot of moving water
-
- Completed painting of the sunset
-
- My try with a river
-
- This one is not completely successful. I was told – and must agree – that it came out more like a loan than water :-/
-
- My study work with oil – copying another painter’s work
-
- Another study work – trying to capture moving water from photo
-
- This is my result 🙂
-
- Studying waves with pencil
-
- This one finally got right 🙂
-
- A river and a bridge – Florence again
-
- Moving water and leaves. This one I elaborated too, about a year later. This is the initial version – 1st try.
