Following the movement of light

You really should look at these

It’s always lovely to see daffodils after a long winter:)

I took these photographs, using my digital camera last year.    They show the movement of light on a windowsill in my flat.

Frame 2.

I didn’t start using a camera until eight years ago, and although I prefer to paint from life, I have found the digital camera to be a superb tool.

Frame 3

It allows me to capture the movement of light and shadow, however it is not a replacement for a sketchbook……it’s an added tool.

Frame 4

photographs, especially your own,  are excellent to use as jumping off points for paintings.

Have a lovely day, and remember to look at the http://www.artinthealgarve.com website.     There are still places available for the April watercolour workshop,  suitable for all levels including total beginners.

Write well and read with care and thought

A little knowledge cannot do us harm

And on that base with certainty we build

For learning has a wonder and a charm

As with new words our avid mind is filled

 Image

Now poetry and songs can  give us voice

For others who with us share this dear earth.

To dwell in silence is of course a choice

Yet sharing is a means of giving birth.

 

The news is filled with death and with wrong deeds

Our hearts lurch as we read the frightful words

Our blood boils and our minds gain speed

From articles ill thought that do no good

 

Write well and read with care and thought

Lest you by evil also are o’erwrought
