Me, again

It didn't take long to do this one. I spent 2.5 hours for the sky and sand, then another 2 for the girl. First, I had to do an acrylic ground of titanium white and phthalo blue. Then the sky, clouds, shadows, sand, footsteps, sea, waves and froth. Now the girl with the dark skin. Tadah! Happy Summer 2018! I fulfilled another #ArtSherpa tutorial!!!

From a blank 14" x 18" canvas board. Notice my new (cleaner) plastic mat! To a pencil sketch. Have to get the blocking right. To the skies of light ultramarine blue... Now for some trees in the background using a narrow round brush. To some lion cub colors of burnt sienna, burnt umber, yellow ochre and white. Also, some logs and shadows. At this point, I had to pause. What 2 hours of an otherwise idle afternoon could accomplish! A face and some logs! I call this "PF" for Pre-Fur! I consider this furry and done! March 17.

Cropped image This is a still life painting of sunflowers from an image found in Google. Practicing Ginger Cook's techniques and colors. As prep, made a dark ground in burnt sienna, indian yellow and blues. No blacks. White underpainting for the petals and vase. I just love how the leaves turned out. Kinda ducky yellow for the petals. Something's off. An orangey look for the petals all over and some highlights. Added the seed pods now. Taken with an iPad Pro, hence the vivid colors! I'm done!

Starry Starry Night, Paint your palette blue and gray. Look out on a Summer's Day. With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze An #ArtSherpa Tutorial translated into a black tote bag. Thanks  +Cinnamon Cooney  ! Added below is the Lyrics to the famous song by Don McLean, one of my favorites, about Vincent Van Gogh, another favorite of mine. "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in...
