Some of my work using Ecoline Liquid Watercolour - Doranne Alden Caruana

A selection of various media which I have begun to introduce to mixing
along with Ecoline Liquid Watercolours

Ecoline Liquid Watercolours by Talens

Teaching art to my students is something
I have come to enjoy so much

Before I get started I would like to share a few of my paintings which I worked on recently. They are all in Ecoline Liquid Watercolours and painted either from still life subjects which I set up at home or from the photographs I took of the still life from a different angle. I should point out that I usually also photograph these set ups to check on the values and balance of the colours also for composition and lighting.

Here are the first instalments of photographed still life set ups and the resulting paintings.

Maltese Tomatoes is a painting that came about because I was dared to paint 'more
difficult and challenging tomatoes than their EU counterparts'. This painting eventually got published in the portfolio
section of 'Artists & Illustrator's Magazine' last October 2012. 

Set up in my dining room I have come to
appreciate back lighting for a subject
more than overhead lighting to
create a strong contrast while
painting.
