Day twenty-three has come. This means only seven more days for the 30 day challenge. One week and it is finished. In the grand scheme of things I have learned how to adapt to time crunches, experimented with limited color palettes, tried adding drops of rubbing alcohol to disperse pigment, which apparently does not work well with the rough texture paper I use, and adding salt to draw the color to certain areas of the paper. Here are the paintings of the week. Comment below to let me know which ones are your favorite.
A Bearded Iris with morning dew droplets.
Butterfly on a Zinnia. I had fun playing with foreground against the background. Here I layered watery bleeding colors to give the effect of blurriness.
An abstract painting of Poppies.
An 11x14 watercolor of unknown flowers. If you know the name of these, comment below.
Clematis watercolor painting.
Marigold 5x7. I enjoyed bringing out the various colors I could see in the yellow.
Songbird flower 5x7.
