last hurrah

$80 - 8x10"watercolour painting
Well, this is the last hurrah, or at least the last still life set up for the year. The group I paint with doesn't reconvene until the new year. Hopefully, I'll set up some small still lifes on my own over the holidays. : )
here are some close ups -

Finally! Lots of snow for me to paint! I love painting snow, it's nice and 'contrasty'.

Here's the drawing I drew while walking down the street. I added lots of watercolour once I got home. : )

The walking while drawing sketches are so fun to do. I just draw what I see, impulsively, and hope it works out. Sometimes it does... sometimes it doesn't. Either way the line is nice and loose. At home, I add fresh watercolour.

Still pluggin' away and trying to find my place in the world of portraiture!

Another walking and drawing sketch with my Micron purple Brush Pen. I really had to keep the wash of watercolour loose to match the line. I love the originality of this kind of drawing.
