Day 26 of 30

Had fun with this. So much, that I didn’t even think about the fact that I cut the painting in half. I was going to add more vines. The colors refused to scan right. The background colors do get lighter, but not white. There are three blues in the background, but the difference isn’t visible here. The swirly blooms are a mix of a flesh color, and a very soft pink. They are warmer than they look.

Just a bit of fun.

I worked a bit more on Day 25 as well. I went over the white lines, I think it helped a bit. Added pen as well.

Day 25 revised.

Here is the before,

I was going to call this a work in progress. But I think there is just too much work needed to make it presentable. I could call it a color study, or a learning experience. Yeah. It is a color study.

My inspiration was a soft and washy piece of art. Light and airy, smooth transitions. HA! Oh and some photos of flowers that artist Sea Dean sent me.

Who am I kidding. I CAN NOT do light and airy. LOL! Oh well.

I whipped this out after arriving home from a three-hour tour. I mean, a three-day road trip. I will share more about that soon. Assignment completed. One daily painting.

I had another abstract ready to go, but I reeaaallly don’t like it. HA! Now I am thinkin’ I like it just a little better than this. At least it isn’t messy.

Oh well, I had fun, relaxed a bit, and got to play with my watercolors. I was missing them. I used a Sharpie paint pen to draw the lines and dots. Thought it would work as a resist. And it did for the most part.

Tomorrow is my catch up day. I have missed seeing all the incredible art created in the challenge. I’ll be visiting a blog near you soon!

Day 1, One Ear. 8 x 8 Watercolor on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

Day one and we’re off! I have looked forward to this challenge. You will have to remind me of that when we hit week three.

He still looks a little angry. Oh well, I am pleased with this attempt. You can revisit my first try in the earlier post. I was prepared to paint something completely different today. But Mr. Ear here was calling me.

I will be sharing on Pinterest, the board is up, but I have yet to start pinning. And Oh HEY! Signed up on Instagram, so click the button on the right to follow me. I will be posting each day there, if the site is down. I mentioned the repairs in the two earlier posts. One glitch is that my posts are not being emailed. Ughhh! But the server is a priority over that.

Thanks for sticking with me. Ever so grateful. This month might be bumpy, pero asi es la vida!
