Best look up wikipedia if you think of doing art
There’s a massive choice of media don’t be scuppered from the start
Think watercolour’s easy well you’re wrong so think again
Light shades won’t cover dark ones pay attention I’ll explain:
To paint pallid faces with interesting features
You must have left spaces to fit the poor creatures
Black background, beige people take care bear in mind
They need to have edges correctly defined
Or draw them first nicely limbs fingers and ears
Paint round them precisely but that would take years
So do your dark background now here comes your crowd
To fit like round pegs in the squares you’ve allowed
Here’s Jim he’s a giant and small-headed Pete
Has 5 or 6 elbows and tree-roots for feet
Are those people leaping or climbing a hill
Are these coming forward or standing stock-still
There’s Doris she’s half-sized and floating on air
Feet dangling that street lamp is singeing her hair
Where’s everyone going, right left to and fro
Or all facing forward arms linked in a row
It could be a disco they’re posed where they froze
Some jiving some twisting line dancing who knows
This dog and that policeman are frighteningly fat
And each must be wearing a big floral hat
Anne’s stooping Jane’s leaning they’re sharing 3 legs
With 2 of them sharpened like old-fashioned pegs
If only the light paint would cover the dark
You’d conquer the art world get on make your mark
Whatever your landscape bizarre or idyllic
You really should do it in oil or acrylic
Cutouts and glue
Work too
And here are 4 works of acrylic splodge no people much much easier




You think you know someone! . Then their verse and acrylics appear, and all you thought you knew disappears in a puff of creativity. GT3A X

Your Acrylics are great But I do have to state That I would like to see ( despite woes of three And four legged folk) – I know, it’s no joke- Your finished works With all their quirks.
I like the additions to your latest starter, good contrasts, drawing attention to the lovely colours in the rooftop garden!

Relishing the rhyming reply! Thank you! Nothing is ever finished and nothing goes in the bin (see ‘moving house’) but many are too horrible to show.
