she dreamt a deer was always near
~
I watched Mindy Lacefield's art video
I felt inspired to learn from what she shared
I love how she layers paints
this piece began without a sketch
simply a brush, acrylics and lots of layers
I love the freedom of her style
a looseness
Thank you Mindy!
Mindy's website: Tim's Sally

Tammie, I love this painting!
ReplyDeletewow this is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see the more expressive side of you, Tammie! The deer looks especially beautiful... :)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to create this piece. To take paint and layer and layer with colors that are a bit different for me. I enjoyed the experience very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your supportive messages!
light to you,
Tammie
This is very cool, oh I love the layers too, and all the fabulous colors. be well.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check this out. Good to see you back at PPF with the big eyes and sweet faces.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting, Tammie. We have deer in our yard almost every day, but very few have antlers. We have watched 2 does with fawns lately.
ReplyDeleteOOOH Tammie this is gorgeous! I must admit I had a flashback to the Harry Potter movie with the bounding deer... so sweet & I love the quizzical look on the deers face & the love on the girls :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting and such a sweet face. Love the deer. Great job. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I love this painting!!! Her face is so pretty!!!

ReplyDeleteBoth the eyes of the deer and the gilr are so soulful. I like this piece. HAPPY PPF!
ReplyDeleteGreat Layers Tammie! Will have to check the vid. I took a class with Serena Barton who also does portraits without a sketch. Challenging!
