Purple Hound

Feeling overwhelmed with what is on my plate.  I have too much paperwork to do and it's robbing me of my studio time.  I shouldn't complain, I have control of my day as I'm self employed.  Also, I loose my natural light early which really frees me up to do paperwork.  It's just that there is so much to do.  I plan to work longer into the evening to get caught up.

I just finished a watercolor of a Basset Hound.  A regal dog.  When I look at how the painting came out, I wonder what's on his mind.  The background is purple, my granddaughter, Corina's favorite color.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18.

Piglet Oil Painting, "Hay Maze" by Brande Arno

The finished "Hay Maze"  Piglet Art I truly love how this piece came out.  I've been amazed at the pure color and beautiful brushwork of Angela Moulton's paintings. Every time I see her latest collection on YouTube, I am awestruck at how pure the background color is.  So I wanted to try my hand at upping background color value in my work.   Below is how I started: Hay Maze Start Here, I establish the main layout and gesture of this piglet's face.  I'm striving for something that looks painterly, yet would bring a smile to the face of the viewer, so this stage is important.  Also, color values on the pig are being set.   Hay Maze about halfway This is where I put that rich background color in.  Notice some neutral colors in with the bright.  I wouldn't want all bright green here as it would be like all caps when texting.  I'll re-post the final Hay Maze below: Lots of changes from the halfway point, ...
