the hillside

$60 - 5x7"painting with 8x10"mat
This week's Daily Paintworks Challenge is to paint sunflowers. I had a wonderful time with this painting. I enjoyed adding all the wild purple and blue flowers and doing lots of negative painting within the stems. As well as a bit of 'fingernail scratches'. : )

Watercolour Demo - April 13, 2015

If you're in Toronto on Monday April 13, 2015, I'll be doing a watercolour demonstration! Actually, first I'll be talking a bit about life drawing short poses, since so many fellow life drawing artists will be there, then I'll be doing a flower demo. There will be cookies!

spring wave

$80 - 8x10"painting
Here is this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, which was to paint the photo provided. I added some blue flowers and leaves to the right side of the little glass jar, to balance things out. I also added one in the yellow jug, on the left. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. : )
here's the pic -

Another gesture portrait, this one with a slightly different palette than I usually use. Again, thinking about light.

sunny side

The practise of portraits continues, as they are soooo challenging! So, I've been doing lots of small quick studies on 90lb paper. I am very happy with the light on this one.

I'm enjoying painting foxes lately. : ) Their long triangular snouts are very distinctive and the wonderful oranges and reds are a treat to paint.

I loved playing around with the pinks and reds in these flowers! They really brightened up my day since it's still coooold outside.

dance step

I think I'm gettin' the hang of these Zentangles. I used two patterns called akoya (braided pearls) and florz (like tiles). Then I shaded in with colour pencils. This one is 5x7". It kinda works 'upside down' too!
