Welcome to my Studio Blog
Take a peek into my studio and See what inspires me to create my paintings and what’s been happening in my studio and on my travels.
I love to travel, see new places and meet new people. I love to create bold colourful paintings, many of them based on my wonderful travels.
Hi everyone, Lots more work this morning. I finished my leaves and then began work on the flowers.
Realized I need some more paint so I added another wash of my blue mixture to the flowers. Then I began to outline the petals. I am taking a break right now, as it is a long tideous job and my eyes are crossing in my head.
Break is over - completed little petal leaves. Will then began to add some lights and values. This will be another longer and difficult part. But I am seeing it almost finished.
Hi Friends, More work today on my Hydrangeas. Added lots of blues (prussian - powder and white). Also a full cover coat of phathlo green and cad yellow to the leaves. A fast outline to determine shapes and area. I will now start to add more colors building values and contrasts.
Things are moving along at the moment quite well with this painting.
Moving along and listening to Elivs this afternoon and I got quite a bit done. Basically finished my garden bucket with lots of paynes grey, white and some prussian blue. Added another coat to the leaves and some ultramarine blue to the flowers - with some fait "watercolor white" pencil crayon lines for the petals - as a guide when I start adding in some definition. Have to stop for the evening and go make our Taco dinner...LOL. Hoping to finish by tomorrow.
Hi everyone, I am back from my mini trip to Budapest, Hungary and I had a great time. What a beautiful city with so much history, art and gorgeous architecture. It was one of my best trips ever. I will have to download my pictures and upload a few for your viewing.
Well, yesterday was a holiday here "Whit Monday" and the weather was not so nice so I did some floral sketches and came up with my next idea for my funky floral series. Its all about hydrangeas and beautiful blues with an antique flare!
Here is my rough sketch.
"Country Blues" to be done on 40 x 50 cm canvas in Acrylic
Drawing on Canvas..Added a few more flowers as I had more room on my canvas.
Blockign in color now for the background - some powder blue and some green for the leaves. Back to the easel!
Hi everyone, I have been very busy creating many new “affordable” gift ideas at my zazzle shop. I have cropped the paintings and made macro images of the florals on many items. New items include: Funky floral magnets, key chains, stylish bags, and mugs with my funky floral designs. I think they make great little gift ideas.Take a look at my gallery at : http://www.zazzle.com/LisaLorenzPaintings
Thanks so much for your support and taking the time to visit my little shop!
Wishing you a very great week ahead
