Here are some progress shots. The curly lace took hours to draw, and then paint - no masking fluid tricks here, just paint and a very fine paintbrush!
To paint the mesh section of the lace tablecloth, I paint the white lace pattern in masking fluid (partly highlighted in red here for you to see)... when the latex is dry, I paint over the whole area with the 'table' colour (ie what you see under the tablecloth), and wait for it to dry.
A soft eraser removes the masking fluid, revealing lovely white lace patterns...
This is where I'm up to as of about an hour ago. I'm really pleased with the wine glass - my first attempt at painting glass. Now, on to some detail touch ups, and the knitting - let's hope I don't stuff it up at this stage!
This one looks great! I love the wine you have in the glass there - I think I'm going to be buying a set of these cards, I love it to bits!

ReplyDeleteWOW. Jejeune, that's just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh is that how you do it? Wow. You have been so productive today. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThank You. I really enjoy watching your work unfold. It really gives those of us on the other side of art a sense of the effort that goes into creating one of your paintings.
ReplyDeleteAnd if it's at all therapeutic for you...so much the better.
The lace, the glass and the wine looks fabulous! So clever!
ReplyDeleteOmigawd that's beautiful! The glass is a work of genius. And the lace - bet you just got yourself lost in right-brain bliss while painting the lace. Sooo awesome! I am eager to see what color the knitting will be.
ReplyDeletethat is fantastic! almost like photo-realism, the way the lace is and you can see it through the wine, such attention to detail, when these are cards i want a whole set!
ReplyDeleteThe wine glass is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that the Jejune days are continuing. :)
