Flowers have such a beautiful abstract quality. They really are a joy to paint. And this turquoise vase is one of my favourites.

Things were nice and loosey-goosey when I painted these fresh pink flowers. The turquoise background was a big decision, but I'm very happy with it.

I painted this at my last figure drawing class. The model was just wonderful!

I'm loving these new artist pens. They are water soluble, so anything goes once I add a splash of water and some watercolour paint!

I'm working on a few more abstracts before teaching a Watercolour Class this Thursday. It's about using selected colours in loose non-representational ways.

Tulips move a lot, mostly in a drooping fashion, under a hot spotlight. Still, I had a great time painting these changing flowers.

Quickposes

I received my Certificate for 10 hours of gesture drawing from Quickposes today! It's a wonderful website that has photos that you can draw from. Of course, drawing from life is preferred, but it's not always manageable. So, quickposes.com is a great alternative. You can choose to draw nude, costume, male, female, both, hands or feet, then select a time interval from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The program switches images for you as you sit and draw. If you sign in you can accumulate drawing time and they send you a certificate.

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

We are having a severe cold spell here in Toronto. So, the only thing to do is stay inside evenings and paint flowers. The challenge here was to see if a bright orange background would work.

It's nice to have a touch of pattern in a painting. Even if it's painted loosely, like on this little cup, it's a lovely bit of decoration.

differences aside

Lately I've been working with white objects, mostly flowers, for my daily paintings. The subtle values in the shadows of white are a real challenge. I like adding a strong colour, like the orange here, as a contrast.

These cone flowers are dancing up towards the sun. They're as ready for summer as I am!

I think this fresh loose painting is a great way to end a long lingering winter. Time for a holiday in the sun! Happy Easter to all and I'll see you in May.
