Tag Archives: “The Sky is Crying”

Day 19 – 30 in 30

I have tried for a week, to get ahead. I stayed up later than I should have last night. Painting and playing with color. I am actually ahead a couple of days now. That has never happened before. I was so tempted to show you all the paintings today.

I really like this piece. So much so, that I am going to show it to you two ways. Let me know which is your favorite.

This is how I painted it, using gravity as a tool.

I left it to dry upside down, when I came back to it, this is what I saw.

I was trying for more of those little “explosions”. When that didn’t work, I added more blue and let it work its way down.

 

I also went back and added more of a shadow to yesterdays heart. It is not showing as well in the scan. It shows as a thin line, but the color blends out into the surrounding area nicely.
