A lavender series with playful patterns. A late-night-last-minute landscape. Two fanciful florals. A playful pink abstract, the beginning of a small series. Week three, the condensed version.
I am sticking to the same formats. Either 6 x 6 inches, or 4 x 6. The abstracts are watercolor and mixed media with some digital elements. The loose floral also has digital scribbles and some of the splatter is digital as well. I included a few close-ups below, for a better look at the details.
This week I explored a different approach to watercolor landscapes. I had a breakthrough, and will be practicing this more. The artist starts on wet paper and thinks of the whole piece. I often start mine on dry paper, and work one area at a time.
There were a couple of florals. Honestly, I couldn’t think of what to paint so I used my default. Again I was trying for a loose and sketchy looks. They fell short, but I am happy with both of them. 😉
A series of patterned abstracts brings me to mid-month and closes out the week on a bright note. I have included some close ups, the details are sometimes lost in low resolution images.
I am working on 6 x 6 paper, the coneflower is 4 x 6.
I’m posting week two, and some extras. The server for my site was under repair for a few days. There may still be some hiccups. Fingers crossed.
I have transitioned from acrylics to watercolor. The acrylic pieces require so much time. And I had been posting really late each day. I still have ideas floating around, so I may be working with collage and acrylics again before the month ends. These are all 8 x 8 inches, except for the landscape. It is 4 x 4 inches.
The sedimentary paints created fun textures.
Thanks so much for taking a look. I’ll see you next week!
