A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
I sketched in another leaf or two, then decided to use real frisket/masking fluid instead of my pen. (I LOVE my pen, but I applied it too thinly on the last one and couldn’t remove it all) Then spent 30 minutes searching for the bottle. Now have applied but need to wait for it to dry. And… I am too tired to do more.
In preparation for another negative painting attempt:
Sooooo…. I certainly haven’t mastered this concept yet. I was trying to follow a tutorial, but there’s a lot that isn’t coming natural to me with this. Still, you can tell it’s leaves.
Artist Trading Cards… 2 1/2×3 1/2 inches. Treehouses. The fronts, top and right using daniel smith paints, bottom left using qor…
The backs… one unfinished, the school house uses Jane davenport mermaid watercolor markers (they are really a waterbased color in a waterbrush) Vivid colors, difficult for me to control, and they lift off a bit too easily, but quite fun. I think they’d be great for something larger, especially art journal pages, or calligraphy. The country store uses daniel smith.
Oh, and about halfway through I found this gift from my newfoundland dog dripping off my table right in front of me. I don’t know how I didn’t get slimed. Don’t get a newfie if you can’t handle the Sloober. He’s not allowed in my studio alone, but he snuck in a bit earlier. Obviously. That Sloober would literally be there in a week if I hadn’t removed it… looking like a thick shiny… dried… disgusting hangy thingy… I tried it once just to see. Ugh.
In a hurry and I muddied my colors. Or maybe they muddied themselves and I didn’t take control of the situation.
A quick sunflower sketch (because all I ever have time for any more is quick!) for a card… I hope to add a little color tomorrow.
Oh my goodness I did miss my paints.
God bless you, Peter Sheeler.
AGHHHHH!!!!! I MISSED A DAY!!! Oh, bad word. Well… I’ll add one at the end or something. I’ve added something I painted on day 263 just so you have something to look at while you contemplate my defeat.
A quick sketch before my head hits the pillow… I REALLY just want to nod off, but… ONLY BECAUSE I’m accountable through this blog… I’m going to at least try something quick. I liked watching this dude walking down the street, huge bouquet in one hand, staring at his phone the whole time. He was like something out of a movie.
In Annapolis, I surreptitiously took a lot of shots of people that looked interesting to me. Not in a creepy way. Although it sounds like it now. This lady was on a corner across the street from us. Emmett was mesmerized by her companions. And I by her easy way of walking and the little slouch she had. She looked very urban to me.
