Anna Cull Little sparrow 2014

I’ve just finished taking a few photos for the shop ― Arty, the mannequin, was a big help. ‘Little sparrow’ is now for sale on Etsy.

Back to the drawing board : )

Shoot it, Sketch it: Cathedral Junction

June 23, 2014May 17, 2019 | Anna Cull

Cathedral Junction — ink and watercolour, 240 x 180 mm, 2014. SOLD

I’ve been meaning to get around to this one for ages. The photograph originally featured in my In the Style of… Fougasse and became an ink sketch coloured in Photoshop. I’ve redrawn it and replaced the digital colour with watercolour. After a little bit of ~~trial and error~~ experimentation, I decided on the version you see here. I did try it with more colour but it just looked wrong. Overworked and wrong. I may paint it again and colour only the leaves… ‘Cathedral Junction’ is now my first watercolour for sale on Etsy.

A little piece of New Zealand is now on its way to the other side of the world : )

My seagull is now for sale

June 11, 2014April 17, 2018 | Anna Cull

Seagull, June 2014 — Seagull — acrylic on canvas, 205 x 255 mm, 2014. Sold.

This little seagull ~~is now for sale~~ has now sold on Etsy. I took some more photographs and I’m a lot happier with the colours this time around (click here to see my original post).

I’m thinking of making this a series with different background colours and canvas sizes ― but there are so many other painting projects waiting in the wings (so to speak), it may be a while before the next seagull gets off the ground (sorry, I really need to get out more).

Through the trees — acrylic on canvas, 100 x 305 mm, 2014 (now SOLD)

I’ve just popped this up on Etsy and I’m already having second thoughts about selling it. I do hope that letting go of my favourites will get easier ― but I suspect it won’t.
