Another day another post!
Today was a great art day, Technically I had the day off minus a short-lived meeting this morning. It was great really I had the opportunity to do loads of things that I have meaning to work on including a wall painting at the house. I finally started. I painted the first of many parts to a whole. It is completely impulsive with almost no planning which I love and luckily Mama dukes doesn’t mind a bit. Anyway, while waiting for layers of paint to dry I began a series of low stress very free wash drawings and this was the first one that I completed. These types of images always have such a freedom to them. Mistakes are completely acceptable and when things work out just right its like nature intended it to, since I barely think when I get into these. Anyway, Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
I debated on whether to add more to this or not, but I have come to the conclusion that I will just do a second version that can be developed a bit more. The open spaces and light washes are something that I really enjoy. Time to head to the beach though… see you tomorrow!
I’ve been doing a series of images that are very carefree and I like what happens with that. The marks seem less planned and it is a completely reactive method once the initial wash is laid down. It is fun to see the layers develop after a while. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
It’s funny this image drove me crazy when I was working on it, but seeing the image of it on-screen makes me like it better. This piece was all about layers, laying down one level and building off of that. Really just playing with the way that the shapes intertwine. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
It is quite a small image but I loved working on it. Maybe it makes more sense to work smaller when your on a very tight deadline. See you tomorrow!
These next few images seem a bit underdeveloped but I feel as if I need to stop focusing so much because I am becoming way to overwhelmed. I haven’t been as committed to the images probably because I was so caught up in the hunger games but luckily I’ve finished the books. It is sad kinda, the series was so good. Any book suggestions? Anyway, what that also means is that I’ll have some free time at night to paint again! I always like the contrast of watercolor washes against a pen line. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
This piece I feel is somewhat successful. As you can see I am apparently back onto a watercolor kick. Problem with that is I tend to work over the course of a few days on multiple pieces. Thats why these posts are happening at the same time. although I started them 2 days ago they were finished today. The color is somewhat rich in sections although I do feel the contrast could have been pushed in a few sections. It is all a learning process right! Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
Another Day another drawing, it’s funny how some days just work and to make an image is exciting even if the finished result is only partially what you learned from the experience and other days it is like banging your head against a wall. Luckily today was much more like option one. I was able to let go which may be in part from my total brain numbness from earlier activities. Nothing bad just brain numbingly boring really. I actually think that my ear may be swollen due to the amount of time I spent on the tele today. REALLY. Anyway onto the next one enjoy and goodnight!
