I lost a lot of digital artwork when I got with some horrid ransom malware about three weeks ago. So it is a process of discovery and renewal. I found a small file size of ‘strident’ on an email I sent. So I copied the black line and started over again. I have really enjoyed the process; now I am emotionally far enough away. It has a sense of lightness the old one didn’t have. I love the colour texture and movement in the skin of the new ‘strident’ it has more of a watery feel. Here is a small extract of her.

I wonder how the background will go?

New window exhibition at FernArtz studio – artworks by Fern Smith

Fern Smith made the oil paint from pigments and ochres. The pigments are all ‘safe’ by the ASTM standard. No solvents were used.

If you would like to to make a batch of your own oil paint book in a workshop.
