Nice ‘soft day’ outside (a steady soft rain). Great to be inside in the studio with a gorgeous bunch of my peonies. Painting the day away. The next in the series, “Ways to Say I Love You”. “You Leave Me Breathless”, 12x12x1” oil on board. Demo for a private lesson in palette knife work/oils. Going on the website as soon as it dries. But send me a message & claim it now! $200. “You are the Sunshine in my Days” - 30”x24”x1.5” oil on canvas. Fresh off the easel... this one is almost dry! Will be loading up some new paintings on my website tomorrow! Last batch of the pink peonies in my yard, Day 8 of #30x30directwatercolor2018 Still fascinated by the direct painting technique of going right in with the brush and no pencil or pen drawing first. It’s definitely changing some of my habits & thinking. A couple hard edges in this one that I didn’t intend, but still loving the technique just the same. Day 7 of #30x30directwatercolor2018 this one was fun but became quite the challenge mid-way in to this. I began directly with the green background, carving around these fluffy white peonies. Just painting in those negative shapes. (Have you ever spent time in a room with these things? The fragrance is AMAZING! Any way, part way in I realized that I didn’t measure those flower heads and I really needed more flower space on the left before cutting into that shape with the paint. When I work with even just a bit of pencil, I measure first. So now I’m trying to think about integrating my measuring habits into this direct painting method. Hmm. Day 6 of #30x30directwatercolor2018 - had time for a 30 minute sketch of a stand of poppies .
