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. 🙂
light drawinglight underpaintingbegun the eyestarted to lay in the darksand bam I got to this point sorry no pictures from last update.. but did add more detail to eye and fur and back groundstarted to really work up the fur and washes to blend in somewhat.finished painting.
Wow I’ve been hanging in there keeping up with the painting! Feels good! This is a small little 5 x 7 done on Arches watercolor paper. Scenery was inspired from a photograph I took a few years back. Just a quick little sketch in watercolor but would love to do something more involved with this in the future.
Seeds have been added, does give it a little bit more sunflower look to it.
Day 25 Working on learning how to use the yellows. This is a sunflower that the picture was cropped just catching a portion of these huge sunflower in my yard a few years back. It needs something. I will repost the final picture on this day 25 post . I need to get back on it and add the seeds in the center. Things got so muddy I gave up on this one. But worth going back to it and give it another chance. This is why I share its the good and the bad, and everything in between. Enjoying the journey!
My little painting of a yellow pansy, picture taken in my yard a few years ago. I used this cool purple watercolor that had tiny shiny glitters in it. The name escapes my memory right now. I promise in the future I will list some of these fun colors I have picked up over the years.
This painting is literally just 2 x 4 inches. good things come in small packages.
