Day 9

Had fun with this. The vase has two textures, but the polka dots are not showing as well as they do in person. The green is also showing darker here. It is really very pretty.

I masked off the bottom half, and the right side. Next I splattered paint. The side looks as if it wasn’t masked. Oh well. I’m thinking that it looks wonky, with an obvious splatter line. So I may go back in and add one flick to the bottom half, on the left. Another option is to go back in digitally, and remove some of the splatters. Still thinking on it.

Nelvia asked what colors I am using. Craft paint for this one. Here’s the list:

Anita’s – Light Coral, Buttered Yam, Terra Cotta, Dark Plum, Deep Celery,
Craft Smart – Bisque
Apple Barrel – Sunkissed Peach
Americana – Cranberry Wine, Natural Buff

Bisque is my favorite white. It is soft, not too white. And not warm at all, like ivory. I only have one bottle. Couldn’t find it in stock anywhere. I also had a hard time finding my favorite Shiraz in these acrylics. I am mixing the plum and wine to get the color I want. Sunkissed peach is a flesh tone. I like using it in place of white, and mixing in the yam or peach. In day 9, it looks more pink due to the wine undercoat.

Site updates have been done. Might be a few more left. I am crossing my fingers that this post is delivered to your inbox tomorrow. Have an awesome weekend!

Up late painting. And yes, there was thunder at midnight.
My tools included a brush, a credit card, a paint comb, and a stencil.

Day 8 First Layers

I thought about making this a landscape after the second layers were added.
I could see a hint of hills along the horizon.

I have kept my posts short. Less to replace if the server went down again. But new server now, and all should be well. Fingers crossed. Updates need to be redone, and CAPTCHA reinstalled. But there are a few more tweaks that need attention first. Don’t ask me what exactly, because I have no idea. Hoping to have that taken care of soon, and have the emails working again.

Randy my tech man knows. That is all that matters. He mentioned to me that yesterday’s piece reminded him of The Lorax. You know, Dr. Seuss. Fluffy lollypop trees. Made me laugh. They do look like wonky cartoon trees.

Today’s title came to me when I started drawing the stems. The bloom swirls make me think of long hair, pulled up in a bun. And I can imagine them standing there spreading garden gossip.

Week one is done! Time flew by.
