For being a five minute flower this thing took forever. And 6 attempts. Yeah. Water is not my friend, apparently. I’ll figure it out.
Day 52: (Tues 2/21) watercolor poppy
Tag: project
Day 51: (mon. 2/20)watercolor
Another Peter Sheeler Tutorial. I still have very little control over the paint…
Day 50: studies of a little bird
Just sketches of a figurine I like. Different types of pens, some with watercolor wash.
Day 48:(Fri) a little birdie sketch
Watercolor and ink, on a brown paper notebook cover. The front cover of the notebook I posted yesterday. (Yes, it’s true, I had no time again today.) Just copied from the internet. I feel like I’ve let you down… but at least I kept moving, and day 48 is finished!
Day 47: (Thurs)airplane doodles
An airplane isn’t ideal for drawing… but it’s pretty good for doodling. This is the back cover of a little notebook I brought with me. Micron pens, .8, .2, .005
(If you can’t tell, it’s those little spiky gumballs we played with as kids, remember them? Also a pine needle, stick, leaves. From a photo from afternoon last week on Nolan’s Trail.)
Day 46: A quick scribble
Not much time today. My apologies…. I’ll make it up to you!
Day 45: (Tues) watercolor (Peter Sheeler tutorial)
Still on our business trip. This is small… just a few inches wide. Took me WAY too long. I still have to force the paint, really. When will I learn to direct it??? It looks so simple in the videos. Also… my sky is GREEN. No. Just no.
Day 44: (Monday)a zentangley peacock
I don’t exactly “zentangle“, but I do like to draw these sort of zentangled pictures. We are on a business trip but I won’t let that stall my threesixfive project. (Plus I love my art supplies like they are children. Almost. So brought a bunch with me. A mini travel version of my studio.) I did this project on the plane, on an empty lottery ticket I picked up at Food Lion. I wish I had thought to work the shaded areas into the design. And I thought of a way to work the feathers in better. But I’m needing a pencil on fewer and fewer projects, which feels like improvement.
Day 43: watercolor woods
Sunday’s submission, following another youtube tutorial. Part of the lesson was learning to use a sponge. I failed at that but it was my sponge’s fault. Really. A little more light in the painting is needed. I like it, though.
Day 42: SHOES!!!!!
So here are my new favorite old shoes. I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes SO much.
I will be away for a couple of days, but promise I’ll still be doing some small artsy thing each day. I’ll try to post them, but if I can’t, I’ll catch up Wednesday night. Happy weekend!
Acrylic on canvas… shoe. Feline approved.
