One of my favourite oil paintings is finished, showing two stags locking horns. Interesting and engaging composition and a lot of energy and movement. Have a look at my other paintings at my facebook page with daily updates 🙂 http://www.facebook.com/katyjadedobsonart Katy http://www.katyjadedobson.com
Apologies for my silence, things were dormant as I dusted off my official website in prep for 2013 🙂 take a look at my simplified and improved website http://www.katyjadedobson.com to see my first blog post, new sections, and info on up and coming projects. A few new oil paintings have gone down incredibly well so head over to my facebook page (www.facebook.com/katyjadedobsonart) to see my newsest creations 🙂 This is me beavering away at some of my British Wildlife Collection paintings. Enjoy, Katy x
Finally finished my first oil painting 🙂 very very happy with the turnout. Can’t wait to finish the series. Also excited for my blog upheaval, a new design and much more arty updates 🙂
As requested I started a piece today based closely on a previous painting of a herd of stags. This one was to include poppies. The finished product was quite abstract, after I started with a different intention. Along the way I took a few pictures (bad quality… using an Iphone camera..) Here is the process in pictures 🙂 Here I outlined the basics, found where I wanted the deers to be positioned and set the base tone. A bit more life to it… Finished product. Tell me what you think 🙂
Here is a very large scale piece I did for a local Tapas Bar called The Bowl Full in Lincoln. The request was to paint a scene of stampeding, charging bulls from a face first view. A challenge in itself as nobody seems to have been able to get close enough in front of a herd of charging bulls to take a photograph! So working from imagination as much as possible I took to the job with an enthusiastic approach and a very loose hand. In order to portray strength and power in abundance I applied the paints with the same physical, expressive strokes myself (a technique I researched relentlessly towards my dissertation for my degree) and hoped that what came across was the same urgency, movement and power to compliment charging bulls. This piece is now installed in its new home The Bowl Full 🙂
Today I finally brushed off the cobwebs and did my first painting in a month. And very much enjoyed throwing it around… Here is the finished product!
As part of my plan to make up for my neglegance of this website I need to update my own artwork with that of 2012. After taking part in 3 Artist Markets on Steep Hill in Lincoln, I have done plenty more pieces, some fast small images and some large scale paintings. I have been creating work via commissions, made to order, and by request. These will all be uploaded to the ‘my work’ section.
