And another !!
« on: April 18, 2016, 11:15:13 PM »
Okay so this is the end piece of the lime blank I did my previous two posts with. Again, ebonised first then acrylic paint and lacquered. Slightly smaller than the previous two at 6.75" x 4.5".
C & C's welcome as always.

Like where you are going with your colouring though not something I am normally keen on. being picky, if you rounded the bottom edge off a little so it looked as if it were floating it would make a huge difference. Take the piece from really great to brilliant.

I really like these Gary but Pete is right if you tuck the base under a bit it will improve them 100%

I support everything George and Pete have said on this. I absolutely love the colouring on this piece. I thought the previous two were good, but this one really stands out.

Many thanks for all the comments guys, they're very encouraging. Pete, George and Fuzzy I'll take on board the comment about the bottom and will see what I can do when I get round to do the next one.

Many thanks

I'm really taken with the apparent complexity of the paint effect. I don't doubt it was a fairly fast effect to create but it's look belies that.
