Kept at it for another week. One more to go.
Last week I moved out of the sketchbook and started using actual watercolour paints (rather than just watercolour pencils) and started painting on actual watercolour paper. I've been painting in groups of three - cutting an 11x14 sheet into an 11x11 and two 4x4 sheets.
Experimenting with different skies and washes this week - and towards the end of the week trying out masking fluid.

Friday ended up being a busy day, between a library run with Keira and then heading back downtown for an x-ray of my hand... but while I was downtown, I popped into Art Placement and picked up some masking fluid to play around with...

One more week of this, then it's on to something else.
Not sure what that something else is going to be just yet...
I did sign up for an online Domestika course by Mattias Adolfsson (a Swedish illustrator whose work I just adore!). All of their courses are currently 75% off - for the next three days! Perhaps I'll work through that in December and share all my assignments...? Check it out here:

Great work, I particularly like the one going through the birch trees.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alan! I was really happy with how it turned out at well... but it took forever!?
