Tag: 30 in 30 days

June 26 th ( 25 of 30 paintings

So I think I’ve done 25 counting today’s attempt. It’s more about getting into a habit of creating more days than not. So today is another project in the Sara Cray botanical vol 1. Iris’ are tough to do and draw. I hate to draw attention to the negative of this painting. But I must, because these are the things I need to work on.

1. It’s over worked

2. My liner work needs practice. I used a waterproof pen .4 nib to highlight the structure in this painting.

3. Colors are too 😎 bright needs to be muted more.

The goal of this project was to be very loose, let paint go wherever.

This was the example love it want to aspire to this . Watercolor the more you try to control it the less painterly it will be. My observation over the years.😊

Ha I’ve given up trying to post and paint everyday . So instead of 30 paintings it might be 25? The fact that I have begun creating again I’m totally pleased with. I’m having nerve issues in my left hand as well. So trying to give it a rest. Even so I painted this project from Sara cray instruction vol 1. Very pleased with it. Lots of fun,
