If it's raining, I must be doing artwork. Well, not all the time.
This last week we where down a car as my cars starting was going out. It started with a single "click" and no start, then later it got to be "click", "click", "click" before my car would start. Only a matter of time before it would be "click"s all the way down. It was a bit of a wakeup call to have to schedule my travel with Bobbie and Bobbie being priority. Only latest a few days till I could get my starter replaced, but still a wakeup call.
Back to Barns.
Here is my latest barn drawing. I've gotten very used to doing these and have been enjoying them. It takes about 2.5 hrs to complete a single one with a short break while doing them.
My comfort level is getting high in creating these, but now I need to work on other styles as well.
On my watercolor that I did for my brothers friend, I did the painting but it was not "right" and felt very unfinished. It took me a full day of thinking of how to address that. I had thought of a couple of different tacks I could take but ended up using a overlay wash on most of it (different colors for each area) and it worked out very well. You never know where a painting will take you. The same thing happened to my during my art class. I did not have a clue about the background and even tossed the first version because of the background. On my second go I came up with a very different solution that worked very well. Whew.... what a relief.
My ankle is in the final stages of healing where I can do almost anything I want (w/brace for rough stuff) with full strength in another 6 weeks or so. Feels normal except for that dang soft tissue once in a while.
Anyway, enjoy and later...
