Thirty days of art

Last week's watercolor workshop with Iain Stewart gave me lots of ideas and challenges to bump up my art with some new techniques.  More than technique though is the challenge to do something every day  ..kind of like my "don't break the streak" attempts.

So, with Rebecca and Carol, I'm in day 6 of the challenge.  Some ideas to keep me going, paint a sky a day, draw in my sketchbook, do a value sketch in detail for every painting, do the demos over again until I like them....so much to do.

Today's entry will have to come along later after granddaughter Sofia goes home.  Be right back.!

October paintings

Ok, here goes! trying to keep my art streak going for thirty one days. Here's one for yesterday and today.
Paris street, second wash. I'm pretty happy with the colors so far but cant claim the drawing since Iain drew almost everything at the bottom and straightened up all my crooked buildings.

Sunset launch..trying to paint fast for the show Saturday  makes me realize the lesson I'm learning is I need to spend a  lot more time drawing and planning my composition.

Trying out new techniques in both large and small formats. More light, more white, muted colors, more abstractions.
