It's pouring rain here today. Has been all summer. So I am in the studio. I want to paint, but I don't want to think too hard about what to paint. My concentration level is a bit on the low side. I have boxed canvas that I had previously painted on, then didn't like the outcome. If I paint over it, I can get one of my books from my all time favourite artist Jo Sonja Jansen, pick a design, then recreate it to fit the canvas. That will be a great exercise in brush skills. So, I choose this design. This is the back cover of 'The Art of Folk Painting', by Jo Sonja Jansen (and David). I bought this book over 20 years ago, as you can probably tell from the scuffs and scrapes on it. It will be a good subject for practicing brush skills, but I don't want mine to look so 'neat'. Let's see what we end up with... Here is my canvas, all painted up and ready to go. Ok, I have the pattern sketched on there - yes, I did say 'sketched'. It is a good habit to get into to freehand your designs on, and this isn't too hard if you keep a few things in mind. Like, if you look close enough, you can see that I have divided the canvas down the middle, both horizontally and vertically. You could then split those areas in half again if you liked. These lines help you place things in a balanced, symmetrical way. No real detail here, just enough for you to base in the shapes. The more you practice, the better you get. No shortcuts here.Here is the palette that I have chosen to go with. All acrylic. Going from the white on the top right, anticlockwise, we have - Titanium White, Moss Green, Sap Green, Green Oxide (2 splodges of), Teal Green (but I didn't end up using it), Celadon, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Storm Blue (there is a splodge of Blue deep there, but that wasn't used either), Purple Madder, Burgundy, Napthol Crimson, Red Earth, Napthol Red Light, Raw Sienna, Yellow Oxide, Turners Yellow. Most of the colours are Jo Sonja Artist Colours. I always use a wet palette, when working with acrylics. One in a shallow container with a lid. Most folk art designs require you to base in the shapes in a medium value. Then we come back to shade, highlight and decorate. Can you see how I've used a sponge and a rough bristle brush to 'scrub in' colour to the background colour of the canvas. I stroked this colour around most of the design objects, to 'ground' them. It also gives the canvas more of the rustic look I was after. Here is the finished painting. till next time Fiona .
