13 - How to paint bamboo

[Val]

Nolan, Val , Robin and Mea you guys had me in stitches.......

  That's nothing Danielle.... just wait 'til you see Nolan doing his 'Happy Dance' !       

[ncwren]

Danielle you are going to do great! 

[Louisa Rautenbach]

Thanks everyone for the very nice comments. Danielle you will do it with closed eyes. Nolan the glazing for the bamboo.... is it the same as the lamp?

[Danielle123]

  Natalie for the encouragement. 
  Louisa for the lovely comment.  My eyes closed, not sure but TY for the vote of confidence.
Val,  i can only imagine  Nolan doing a happy dance.

Louisa, I just did a dry brush (just paint a very thin layer using very little paint on the brush) for my reflections, you can do the same for your shadows

[Louisa Rautenbach]

Thanks Nolan that sounds fairly easy

My grandchild Anouk insisted that this is a Panda painting and it's hers now.

[Val]

That's priceless Louisa.... of course you realize she will need a Panda painting to go with it.....       

Love the colourings you've used, the one thing I would consider altering is the surf line runs right through the joint of the single stalk of bamboo. Minor really, but otherwise very well done. 

[Louisa Rautenbach]

Oh yes Val I see what you mean, it's a quick fix. Thank you.

[nolan]

looks like Panda food to me too, so it must be hiding in there somewhere

Great job with the painting

[Louisa Rautenbach]

Thank you so much Nolan, she's got a very big imagination and I am sure she can see the Panda hiding there.
