About REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate
My name is Rebecca Evans, living in the New Forest I have been inspired to paint the many animals often seen around me. Having ridden since Childhood, painting equines was a natural path to follow.
I use a variety of media, watercolour, oil, charcoal, pastel,inks, plus a few more, infact I will try most things. Choosing the medium to work with can really change the effect of the art, and therefore the character of the animal. Sometimes it is an instant decision, sometimes it is the mood from within me which determines which medium I choose to use.
I never know what might inspire me next, but if it’s hairy, I will be sure to try.

Thank you Jodi, not as vibrant in the end, and much more paint ! I usually avoid proper skin colours, but this time I enjoyed mixing up a skin tone …yellow, orange and a little red, worked well I think?

Thank you Debi, I am really loving faces at the moment, I was pleased with it, but it was starting to head in the over worked direction, it began as a loose multi coloured portrait, I wasn’t happy so changed it about, adding and adding, thought it was finished a few times, but didn’t leave alone! Eventually I decided to stop tweaking before it hit the ruin point.

This painting have a soul, it ‘speaks’. She says : ” so, here I am, tell me ” To me she looks like she is listening someone. Nice work, as always from you. You can paint with all techniques, your works looks like it’s easy for you to do anything that you want. Your colors and layouts are always well planned, and your handwriting is naturally feminine, sophisticated, sensitive and beautiful. That’s how I see it 🙂

Wow Taia, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. I definitely paint differently with different mediums, I think my fav look is the crazy animals with pastel, I feel more free when using them, but they can get messy, and as I paint in my living room, I do need to prepare for a day, so as to clean up afterwards. Watercolour is great, it’s clean, no fuss, and quick compared to oil…my absolute fav. Lately I am trying to use colours which I never used to use, and I am loving it, the faces lately have been an interesting challenge, one I usually try every six months, then traditional give up quite promptly, Sktchy app has been a great tool in helping me develop this hate, into love of the human form, he he, and I guess trying to paint each day sure helps with progress, when I look back over some previous work I can see improvement, which is encouraging 😀
