  • The Eternal Flame

    Anyone else try to copy a point with water colors. This is my first attempt. It's a Classic Hayes point from the Riley site in Arkansas. It's not exact by any means, but I had fun trying.

    Very nice work. They way you represented the flaking is fantastic and the bit of blue in the blade really ties it into the background. All of my attempts with water color always come out looking like mud. That's why I stick with Acrylic. It's much more forgiving.

        She doesn’t collect rocks or artifacts, and generally paints birds and sea life, but I like her landscapes best:

        I can draw a tiny bit with colored chalk and pastels, but water-color supposed to be most difficult of all mediums to master…..so big kudos Narrow Way! (Betcha Hal got some tips!)

          Thanks Hal! I have a feeling you would like any painting with an arrowhead in it. I mean who wouldn't right. 😉
