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 itβs hairy, I will be sure to try.
What a cool and alluring look! Masterfully done! This is really beautiful!! π

Thanks Jacob, it’s amazing that I now enjoy painting people, when just over a year ago I totally avoided them, you know that it was yourself that got me inspired to give it another try, I admire your work on the characters you have created, funny how things progress π

Aw, wow, that’s amazing! I’m so very thrilled that my portraits have reached out and inspired such magnificent work. π
I was in a similar boat, about five years ago now; I was avoiding drawing altogether because my A Level tutors essentially said I couldn’t draw (they kept forcing me to go all ultra-expressive, and I didn’t like it) and it really knocked my confidence. Once out of university, I resolved to have another go, so I came onto WordPress and surrounded myself with some exciting sketchers. I’ve not looked back. Long live WordPress, and the blogging community, eh! π

This is really beautiful Becky, you are doing so well with portraits. Portraits aren’t easy and a little scary, but practice is a great way to overcome the fear, keep painting faces and all turns beautiful! I love painting faces! You did break the ice and doing wonderfully keep painting! π β€
