Day Whatever.....OK, it's 17! I'm grumpy today; thought all night about my intentions for taking on this challenge- and this is what I've concluded:
I'm noticing that sketches are time saving and meet with higher success day after day. I also need practice sketching and practicing time management when sketching and painting quick sketches- so that may be where I go from here.
Today's painting did help lift my mood. This was a 30 minute timed study: contour drawing of a bouquet of orchids that are in my studio. The colors were what spoke to me today. Enjoy!

PS I'm leaving tomorrow for a week so if I'm not able to download from my phone onto this blog I will put the paintings on Facebook.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I am so happy for you Karen! I am glad you are finding success and improvement. I have been grumpy today too. I did about nine paintings, and they went from bad to worse.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, the color in the leaves reminds me of eucalyptus, which we have a lot of here in California. Beautiful work Karen!
