Trying New Things

With #worldwatercolormonth underway I have found I have stuck with the same style. Always afraid to try something new, one of my biggest challenges is shading in watercolors. With this being a holiday weekend, a birthday party today, putting a fan up on the patio, fixing the grill and more people showing up to our 4th of July celebration than originally expected (the more the merrier), and lets not forget about Church on Sunday, I have very limited time. So last night I decided to work on some shading.

I can honestly say, I am not too disappointed in the way this came out. I like the 2 on the left side the most. Still have work to do, but I have a whole month and some new found friends that may be able to give me pointers.

Digital Flowers

I am still trying to get the hang of the tools, love how many different apps there are for drawing on a tablet. Each one has its own thing to offer. I will be working on these on my down time from painting, more to come soon though.

Jasper's Cat Naps

Usually the reason for me having problems creating is becuase I have artist block or just too busy, well now I have a new problem. Mr. Jasper has found a new napping place. This creates a big problem on so many levels: He is in my way As you can see, he is very hairy and has a lot of hair balls which he has no issues getting rid of wherever he would like. Again, very hairy and he sheds, on everything including the painting I was working on. (good thing I was not happy with the painting). He will push off anything in his way Along with my art desk he has found a few other places, our computer desk, in front of the satellite receiver, the bathtub and the bin where I keep my art towels. Along with is odd sleeping area he now has fleas. I will not say where he got these from but I do know the source. Now its off to the pet store to find a product to put on him because giving this cat a bath is a death sentence for anyone that attempts it. We have never had a flea proble...

Play Ball

As moving day is getting closer it is time to pack up most of the art supplies so I decided to give drawing on the tablet a try again. I am very happy with they way this came out. I started by scribbling all over the screen then staring at it until I found some shapes.I had no intention of drawing something baseball related but that's what happened. It was nice to go into this with absolutely no idea of what I was going to draw. So, LET'S PLAY BALL!
