Did a watercolour for a Facebook friend, based on a picture of his he supplied me. Here’s the pic:
And here’s the resulting painting:
Fun to do!
If anyone has a picture they’d like converted into a little watercolour (at reasonable rates — the one above was done in exchange for a favour), please contact me at the link up top, and we can talk about it.
This is a gift for a friend. A little painting of the Maisonneuve Library, in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal.
Above was copied from an old photo. I feel they get too tight when done that way. Want to loosen up some. And all the people below are looking in the same direction.
Watercolour is more unforgiving than pencil (big discovery!) Still, I enjoy doing all the shading. Strong darks and lights help a lot.
Maybe I should be doing other things, but I enjoy doing these.
Looks like Sophia Loren and the Gangnam Style guy:
Morning Cats:
Morning faces:
The above was sketched on my friend’s verandah, when it was warmer, and possible to do such things. Below is more stuff from my head, and out of one of my books.
This is a fun painting I did on a theme I was thinking about earlier.
When I feel down, unlike people who buy a pair of shoes, I sometimes get one of these babies. Doesn’t take long to fill those rather small pages. The black Koh-i-Noor stick is nice, too. Hooray for seasonal sales at the art or stationery store!
Terrible stuff to watch, last night, on the “Tube” (Youtube, I mean, via livestream). And I’m not even American!
Whew! That’s enough.
Feels so relaxing painting in watercolours after all this digital staring into the screen thing. I also enjoy painting animals and backgrounds, not to mention plants. So maybe that means some real painting at last.
It’s hard to find time for that, though. This sketching I do is mainly therapeutic. Beats punching a wall and scaring the cats.
Still drawing. Feeling a little burnt out, however.
Been drawing a lot of heads, mainly in pencil, for digital painting. It’s a process. I don’t feel as if these are terribly ready, but I wanted to share the process.
