Collapsible cups…

I was outside, which has been my go to since starting back painting. Got all set up but the gust of winds was not helpful and the major clouds probably rain soon.lol..

so decided to share a cool little cup idea for dirty and clean water . I found these collapsible cups at Walmarts camping section. They probably hold 8 oz. What I love is you can half way open so more stable when swishing your paint brush. About 2.50 each and closes up flat. What’s not to like. So gonna reset up indoors to paint. Will be back.😊

June 4 (day 4 of 30)

  Today I changed my subject matter, realized that I have changed in my focus on painting. Enjoying the more loosy goosey way of painting. There was a time where realistic was always my goal. This is a flower from my screen saver..not even close to actual flower, I’m ok with it it was fun to do. So day 4 is fantasy flower.🌺🌺🌺🌺 I like exploring how my paintings look in comparison of in the sun vs shade. Need to research which is best I terms of possibly making prints in the future. Would love any advice.

June 2 day (2 of 30 paintings)

Woohoo day 2 Pansies caught my eye. Love them! Takes a lot of viewing to paint them more realistic. Also controlling the paint and figuring out the color mixes. I will include my picture I have been using for these first few days.

Measures about 1 1/2 x 3 inches taken by my mobile phone.

June 1 day (1 of 30)

Ok so here I go, 30 paintings in 30 days.  Today I had time to do a few in one sitting.  I realized I may not be able to paint on some days so will do some in advance for the those days where life gets in the way. Today was all about pansies. First painting taken in sunshine and also in shade. Not sure which is best. Have a wonderful day,hope you get to paint today

Taken in the sunshine colors look muted.
Same picture in shade, difference shows in colors. 🤔 Interesting..
