i'm wondering about the painting and the way the brush marks show. i kind of like it this way but wonder if prospective collectors might want the color fields to read as really solid. what do you think?

variation...
tried another little gouache today - well, really a mix of acrylic and gouache. when i did the stitching on it i had the presser foot up since having it down made marks on the previous pieces. and this time i mounted it on a backing (of the same paper stock) with cross-stitching.

I'm always a fan of a little texture -- so I'd say stick with the 'lines'. Looking at art I like to get a 'connection' with the artist and a too glossy - perfect - creation somehow loses that personal touch. Just my opinion of course *smile*.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny - I'm glad you agree! There are time when I love absolute smooth, solid color and I love being able to achieve that so easily in my digital drawings like here: http://karenanneglick.blogspot.com/2012/07/sognefjord.html
ReplyDeleteBut it's lovely to have a painterly quality on these - they are small and intimate and somehow need that I think. :-)
