Beech and acrylic
« on: July 12, 2016, 09:58:41 PM »
Hi all,

Just posting another wee hollow Form in Beech. This stands about 5" x 3" roughly and is painted with acrylic. Hope you like it.

C & C's always welcome as usual.

Best Regards

Gary

Cheers George, I've just opened them and the open the right way round???? Possibly down to an earlier glitch when I posted them and they did it but I removed the post straight away so no-one should have seen them that way, maybe you slipped through? and saw them the minute I posted and during the time I was removing them.

Lovely piece Gary.... can't see any beech but the ceramic effect looks great. The form looks fine as well as the finish.
Cheers Rick

Gary,

I'm liking everything about this.

The colours are fairly dark and very busy but as they are in small patches evenly balanced all over the vase they do work.

I imagine the hardest thing is making the colour work look truly random the way nature does.

Many thanks Rick, Tony & Di and Brian. Glad you all like it. The colours were not quite there until I added the very last colour, a splash of the yellow which made it all gel together.

Thank you ALL once again.

Best Regards

Gary
