courtyard corner

 

Original 7x7" watercolour painting

SOLD

I painted this pretty red bicycle and doorway while out on a plein-air day with a Toronto art group. The little courtyard at the University of Toronto is beautiful and this scene just caught my eye. Check out my little paintbox that I use when outdoor painting. WooHoo!

This little eyeshadow case that I converted into a watercolour palette is wonderful. It really enables me to sit and paint anywhere and at any time.

I painted this from a sketch I did at a wonderful green house called Allan Gardens. I don't normally work from a sketch, but I've been wanting to try it, so this was a first. I'm very happy with it. Also, it coincided perfectly with the Daily Paintworks Window Challenge. : )

I really loved doing the line drawing for this scene. I'm still working with a drawn frame, but letting the image emerge from it in places.
