Artist's Comments

This took about 3 hours to do last night

I used yellow oils and the rest acrylic this allowed me to mix the yellow with many of the other colours

I'm just practicing my technique ... i used calligraphy style lines and had more structure with horizontal and vertical shapes also

Comments would be ace !

Snaz! your work is one of the few abstract stuff i actually like...

Great job! keep up the good work!

Question: how did you scan/take a picture of the final piece? because whenever i try to do such a thing, i find paintings to come out distorted...

I used to not appreciate it that much a few years ago ... now i absolutely love it

I take a photo outside because that gets the best quality i think (if you don't do this you will notice a big difference

)

Ive got a great camera so that also helps ... My scanner only really does things a4 size
