Sketchbook
Water Color and Ink
I've been busy working on some side projects, but I can't let October go by without painting at least a pumpkin! So yesterday afternoon, I started drawing in my sketchbook. Here you have a dried corn husk, a leaf from my deck that hasn't changed colors, the remnants of Black-Eyed Susans, some bittersweet, a pear, some corn straw and, the two pumpkins. I might have included an apple, but maybe I'm not done yet with fall/October art.
My water color class is a challenge...a very different way to using water colors than I am used to, as in the pumpkin painting. I am enjoying it and hope I can get this technique....
I ran into problems and then went over areas too many times. Have you tried painting a bouquet of white daisies? Oh my.....it's all about leaving the white and painting the negative space with the right values. Have to wrap my brain around that and sort of convert the way I approach painting this way. Looking forward to the next class!!!
