One is too light.
The other is too dark.
The flowers in both,
look stale and day old.
Hoping tomorrow
will be more successful.

Fixable maybe.
Add color to one.
Take away from the other. Wipe out the centers
and try again.

Sounds like a few of us had problems today. Comforting
to know I am not alone in the struggle to be better.

Happy
successful painting
everyone!

Repeating the same mistake I made yesterday. Values are too close together. But I like it. There is actually a bit more warmth in the foreground, couldn’t get the scan quite right.

Happy painting, felting, drawing, collaging everyone!

I am going to call this a sketch because it is tiny. I didn’t start painting until after ten pm. And the first try failed. Now I have a cheerful piece of scrap paper to use for …something.

Almost flubbed this one too. I went in with pen. TOO much pen. On the petals. I had to cover that up with yellow acrylic. The background also has a flesh toned acrylic, with pink and rust watercolor just because.

Had the idea to draw designs on the vase with white pen, but it’s too late to take any more chances. 30 minutes to midnight. Hey that could have been my title. But then the title would have been bigger than the sketch.
