Rene Ury

Thank you so, so much, Isaura. Your thumbnail of the blue dress maiden is so lovely!

Rene - I love the way this painting moves...along with the very obvious brilliance in color and reflection. The strokes at the shore line suggest movement, without the feeling of being overworked.

8 months

Rene Ury

Thank you so much, b. I really appreciate your well-thought out comments of my painting.

I'm trying to learn acrylics as well. Am having trouble blending colors as well as you do. Any tips? Your blues in the water are gorgeous!

8 months

Thanks so much Rene. I use acrylics much like watercolor with a wet on wet technique in many layers. I'm not formally trained, so I don't know the proper terms - but I find a wet on wet technique, then blending with a clean brush while still wet, pretty effective.

Rene Ury

Helen, thanks so much for your insightful comments.
I think painting is therapy for me --it helps to work with your hands.

Looking forward to seeing more of your great work - I love paintings of Greece!

Beautiful scene with colors and your use of watercolors is my favorite of all... great job :)

8 months

Rene Ury

Thank you so much, Chrisann. We were taught not to use bright colors in class, which is why I hate to take classes.

I love your work - it's so pretty and detailed, as well as expertly done. Your work is a huge hit!

Kostas Koutsoukanidis

The composition and perspective is great. I like the movement of the whole scene. The pal colors you're using give a romantic touch. Very nice.

ps. ...somebody forgot the eyeglasses or what?.. :-)
Kostas

8 months

Rene Ury

Thanks for your thoughtful comments on my work, Kostas. I try for romance or passion whenever I can.

Missing eyeglasses? Maybe the swirling sands are too much - I was trying for a super-st
stylized effect, somewhat abstract.

Mike, thanks so much for your wonderful comments on my "Sparkling Sands." It was risky going for such extreme color, but that was my mood. That orange looks perfect in your "Lorikeet." Hugs!

Artist Statement
for Rene Ury

United States

I have always been passionate about art -- but am something of a "late bloomer." I took one drawing class and one watercolor class after my son left for college five years ago. Because school no longer appeals to me, I continue to learn from books, magazines, websites, art fairs and the examples of others (like you!). The need to create and share drives me on, and I cherish this site and all its participants.
