This I must say was an eye opener, when we say we don’t have enough time. It is So not true ,I have proved to myself that I can find the time. I was really entrenched in this process this month, and had a fun time doing it. So now I need to keep this momentum going, painting away.
These are my 30 , and pleased overall. Thanks for taking a look 🙂
An amazing 30 days for sure! Here is my very last january painting and will add a “sort of works in progress ” on this one. I say sort of because at one point I just forgot and went crazy painting.. and didn’t stop to photograph. I was not sure it was going to come together. Over all i’m happy with it but have a long way to go in learning fur and just learning to use different color schemes. Seems I keep using the same colors.
The picture I used was from a magazine from along time ago. I just loved the side view of this cat and knew I wanted to attempt painting this guy.. finally.
So now what? Must keep painting! Not sure what February will bring need to think about that. Maybe it will be another month of paintings..we shall see. 🙂
This is a picture I had of my kitty Oliver looking out the window. He was sitting facing me but had turned his head looking over his shoulder. Below I wanted to post what I’m starting to do to keep track of my color mixtures and what was used in a painting. I don’t know how other artist do it. but I think for me it just might work.
so I am going to start cutting my paper bigger and construct my painting shifted over so I have an area to test paints and jot down the names of the colors used. This way when a painting is all done . This can be cut off and labeled which painting these colors where used on and also if I get a great mixture.. it will be there for me to repeat again in a different painting. The date started and finished name of paper used. Also who what where on the back. what the inspiration was as well.. It need not be a novel but if you want to recall all these details why not file it some where to have it when needed.
A shot of kitty a little bit further a way. It measures 5.7 on arches 300 pound paper. Using Daniel Smith watercolors.
