So I decided I might as well start with what I find the hardest to paint in watercolor for me. Florals. Hopefully by the end of these 30 days there will be a VAST improvement in that area. Something about the "lightness" of florals totally eludes me when working in watercolor and thats where I first started in watercolor many years ago and quit in total frustration. So day one down and on to the next.

I bought a new Da Vinci cosmotop spin pointed oval so I had to check it out. This was done with two colors, prussian blue and azo yellow in watercolors. My oils just won't flow for me in this cold weather so it's a good time to play in my sketchbook.
I need to brush up on my watercolor sketching skills. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to what the new year will bring. I know I am as this last year was great and full of wonderful happenings. I expect 2018 to be even more spectacular!
With the cold spell here it's been too cold to spend much time in the studio as the cold starts creeping in so I've went portable. I broke out my small watercolor kit and started on my landscape journal for MAP. I'm working on a little white on white series which is 180 from what I usually do. Limited palette (2 colors) and using just my waterbrush. I put a few of the miniature watercolor paintings up on eBay. They will be coming up for auction over the next week. Keep an eye out for them. Mat and frame not included, display purposes only.
Did a few more miniature watercolors today. In the last week miniatures have been popping up everywhere, on two of my favorite art blogs, a youtube channel I follow, on my Facebook feed, mini's everywhere.
First day off after the show in Helena and it felt like a good day to play. 2.5x3.5 watercolor studies.
I did the sketch last night and added the color today from memory. I love when the leaves go all golden against the green. Charlie dropped off some lobster for me this morning and the rum cake is in the fridge cooling. That is a good trade in my book, lobster for cake.
Waiting for Elizabeth and Kia to get home. Perspective is way off, that's what happens when I rush.
Hmmm, can't upload pictures from my cell phone anymore. Delete the app and start over. |
