Hello, friends! Today I gave myself half an hour to play with my art materials. No planning, no sketching... just spontaneous sloth making! I used watercolor, then gouache, then watercolor crayons I had forgotten I even had, and then pencil. Super fun, super fast, and very playful!
Hope you have a great rest of your Monday! I'll be back tomorrow with something new to share!
Howdy, folks! Today I worked a bit more on my chair with cats, or cats with chair. I still don't think it is finished, but I'm liking it more and more. Let me know what you think. I'm still thinking of adding a pattern to the chair upholstery. For some reason I love pink in combination with pea green. I'm not sure why I love it so, but I do.
Here is what my gouache looked like as I was working. I thought it was pretty, so I took a picture.
I'll do something new tomorrow, so check back to see what it is. :)
I worked for a while on making the green vessels into a wall-worthy piece, completing any of the vases that went off the edge of the scrap of paper I was painting on. I turned it into a repeating pattern, which I really like. The print is now available in my Society 6 shop, and there is free shipping right now on some items, including prints, so feel free to check it out. I'll make more color options available in time.
To finish off these vases, I added a few to fill in the gaps. I drew a mermaid on a vase, and I fell in love with her.
I decided to make her into her own piece. I didn't have much time to devote to her, but this is where she's at. I'd love to play with surrounding her with coral and fish...
Thanks for tuning in! I'll have something new to share tomorrow. :)
After yesterdays painted portrait, I decided to loosen up and start painting without a plan. The result? This.
I must really love vases and vessels and teapots and footed bowls because those were the shapes I started to paint. I nested them into the negative spaces between the others, and the resulting painting looks like it wants to be a pattern.
I scanned the painting and added rough white linework digitally. This is how it turned out.
This Easter I painted and decorated vessels, not eggs. It was really fun to play and create without a plan. :) I hope you have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow to play and share more art with you. Perhaps I'll even branch out into different color palettes?
