Painting Demonstration

This was my finished piece from my pastel demonstration at Brave Art in Joondalup Shopping Centre last night.  Despite feeling like the "doggy in the window" I really did enjoy the process.  Lots of people came up to me and commented on my work so positive and was nice validation.  I would definately do it again and after a couple of hours I created this lovely piece below.

Wonderful Waves

This painting below was a comission piece that I did for a lovely couple about to build their new home, I hope this painting brings them many years of joy.

 

This painting below is of the reef in Yanchep, as soon as I showed this one to my husband he snapped it up for himself, we are running out of wall space!!  Thank goodness it is a small piece.


I have just completed three very exciting pieces so stay tuned.  www/annsteer.com

Changing your Colour Palette

I recently attended a workshop held by Val Brooks and my aim was to loosen up my style a bit and change my colour palette.  I found this so confronting as I am used to using mainly blues and greens and whites for the sand. It was challenging to use different colours and it wasn't until I got home and finished my piece, propped it up against the wall, sat back and had my cup of tea and actually looked at the painting with fresh eyes that I began to really like it.  It has a serene feeling and I really love the rich reds and greens in the bushes.  I feel as an artist it is so important to grow and learn so I constantly try to attend different workshops held by fabulous West Australian artists throughout the year.

More Sunsets

I was watching a movie the other night and there was a mysterious orange glow seeping in through the windows.  I forced myself off the couch and this is the result of the beauty that was in front of me, I just can't resist sharing a perfectly good sunset!
