Following a Rose Tutorial by Jay Lee
Here is the rose I painted during the livestream session today (and what could be nicer than painting on a rainy summer day?) :
It isn’t bad, but if I showed you Jay Lee’s rose that I was copying, you’d see why I wasn’t happy with this. I see what he did. I just didn’t do it. I was trying to paint what he painted as he painted it, and I couldn’t keep up… So afterwards, I pulled up my own reference photo, and came up with this:
Still not perfect, but I do think it is better than it would have been in early 2017. So I will keep moving!!
Day 38: Artsnacks supply challenge
I received a little monthly subscription package from Art Snacks, and their challenge is to use all of the supplies in a single piece of art and send them a photo. So here’s what I came up with. Included were a nice pencil and charcoal set, a large black permanent marker, like for posters, a red Zig brush pen (water soluble), and two Stabilo pens, in yellow and light blue. I drew another of my anniversary roses and created a Graffiti Rose. Then I tried a sort of comic book look. And THEN, I used the charcoal alone for a little drawing of pomegranates.
I guess really I’m more the still-life-pomegranate type. But… I enjoyed creating the graffiti rose, and I liked the messiness of it. 🙂
