All of the following images are made in the same manner, by applying a layer of graphite completely at will with no reference and then entering the space and creating depth and layers. I had a blast making these and the following five posts. I hope you find them as interesting or intriguing as I do. Enjoy!
I kinda love this… It is a combination of Watercolor and Gouache painting. The colors are a bit bold in some places but in all honesty I am leaving it exactly as it is because it is definitely a teaching piece. The pods seem to really be activated specially when seen from a distance. I apologize for how fuzzy the main image of the is, if I get my act together I will take a new photo but considering I staying up way past my bedtime yet again painting I may not remember. Recently I have been rather inspired but also attempting to catch myself back up. I had fallen behind quite a bit on my drawings and now it is as if I need to MASS produce as if 1 image a day isn’t hard enough. HA. Anyway Enjoy and see you next time!
A last minute image before tomorrows open studio. Excited to see what tomorrow and Sunday bring. Not too much to say, it’s just been one of those days where my mind needs to rest and regroup. Enjoy and see you next time!
Another day another image, as usual I started painting this morning and even though I did not work until 2:30 I was nearly late because I got involved in both this and two other images which are not yet completed. The image never got the depth I was looking for but I honestly got a bit tired of working on this image. It was one of the first ones I had drawn something in pencil first (well in a long time) and I guess I felt restricted. Anyway, Enjoy and see you next time!
Last of today’s images. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be just as productive. Some of you who have been following the blog may know that one I have open studios this weekend and I am trying to keep producing and two I fell behind on the blog and I am trying to catch up right now… Wonder if I can do it! Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
Same painting session as 131 and 132…. one more to come! Enjoy.
This was another result of listening to the Hunger Games Soundtrack. Also, I would like to remind everyone that this coming weekend is Hull Open Studios, for more information please follow the link. Hull Artists Studio Connection Open Studio Tour Enjoy.
I kinda of love how subtle this was before I added the dark marks in the center. I don’t mind the center but it actually felt more complete without it. Odd how that happens sometime. Enjoy and I’ll see you next time!
Graphite and Watercolor
Had a good morning, I was able to get a few images I had started complete and hopefully close that gap I created over the last month or so. I have been so distracted with books this summer its as if I have summer reading except that I have been enjoying them. If anyone is looking for a good read I totally recommend reading The Night Circus. I was obsessed with this book. The image is all watercolor. I have a few images that seem to have a central focus area and things grow from that point. Enjoy see you next time!
