A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
Ok not NOTHING, but I only sketched a treehouse out, and I want to paint it before I post it. Sooo…. I will post something I did last year, way before I started my project to do something artistic each day. If I recall, I was copying wood cuts for these. So not an original idea and not technically part of my 365 project, but I’ll post today’s project tomorrow.
I could just paint these for months. I’m tempted to fill the rest of this sketcbook with treehouses. I’m going to be opening an etsy store soon, and I think some of these little houses will be made into prints for that store.
I like house ridiculously large the house is for the tree. I may exaggerate that in another painting.
Did you find the kitty? (okay, he’s BARELY a kitty, no detail… but seriously, he’s very SMALL! I couldn’t even add whiskers!)
I finished it in time, but then forgot to post it! Anyway, here is today’s treehouse. I like the first one better, but this was really fun to do. Can you find the kitty?
Yeah, I don’t want to post it until I’ve painted it tomorrow. But it’s all sketched in, I promise, and I’ll post the sketch Saturday with the painted version, too. So for now, goodnight!
I got this idea from Bored Panda’s page.
(even the idea to look up Bored Panda didn’t really come from me: I had decided to do a little piece of art for a swap, and the person I’m sending too said she likes whimsical little houses. I googled whimsical little houses and up popped Bored Panda!) I don’t want to send it away now. I see some places to improve though, so I’ll get over it!
Just practicing an idea I saw on a video.
Posted a little early… I like this better, as I keep playing around with the ideas… I like the wet loose backgrounds. I don’t want to hang it on the wall, but it was fun to paint, and I like looking at it.
I used Daniel Smith and Qor paints… I like the way the Qor fans out and makes little fireworks on the damp page. I have to figure out how to use that to my advantage.
From a video tutorial on youtube by lazywonderbrush… I did mine a little differently, playing around with it (which I liked). But my poor little birdie is a bit chubby… he can barely fly! I need more work with her technique but I really enjoy it.
Following Lazy Wonderbrush’s youtube videos… very helpful. 🙂 Check them out! Why don’t I do watercolor every day?? It is not easy, but is so relaxing.
I made a tiny sketch of a painting by Rose Ann Hayes (I think I copied her bluebells earlier this year!) I only had a few moments, but I will try a larger version later, with ink, too.
Watercolors are so sweet. I love them.
