Following the "daily painting" journey of a beginning artist. Monday, October 31, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 45. I thought it was too cold and windy to paint outside today, so I played with watercolors inside instead. Tuesday, October 11, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 44. Unsuccessfully tried to do this in the style of Renoir. Very challenging to attempt his blurred, blended style. Tuesday, October 4, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 43.

Learning to See: Tactical decisions...

Friday, July 31, 2015. This is the entrance to the rock garden at Bentonsport. First I'll list what went right (or so I think). You're probably going to have to click or pinch this image bigger. 1 The photo makes clear that all the greens in the vicinity were nearly identical. I saw the background trees were darker and bluer when I focused on the shrub by the wall and saw them in my peripheral vision. 3 I bumped up the pink flowers because they relieve all that green with their complimentary hue. 3 The g...

Following the "daily painting" journey of a beginning artist. Friday, April 29, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 10. Not the nicest day to be outside painting.

Following the "daily painting" journey of a beginning artist. Friday, July 15, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 24. Tried to adjust the second painting from my Village Folk School Workshop in Bentonsport. The focus of the day was dark and light shapes. Trying to create the landscape with detail only where it counts. Not the best execution of the approach, but will keep trying. Street View in Bentonsport, IA.

Following the "daily painting" journey of a beginning artist. Monday, September 19, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 42. The river at Waterworks Park. I dressed like it was fall, the temps were like summer. I wilted early. Things never go that well when I am hot and uncomfortable. And the little black bugs called.

Learning to See: This the season
http://jtpart.blogspot.com/2015/07/this-season.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. The lighting was caused by the rising sun slicing between the bell tower and the sanctuary. The beautiful wedge of red orange lasted about 15 minutes tops, so I drew in the wedge shape and put a spot of the color on it serve as a reminder. Here it is almost done (above) and in the show (below). Hanging above it is John Evans' pastel which took second. That afternoon I did this more typical subject. Here are the artists and a shot of the pieces in the final show.

Following the "daily painting" journey of a beginning artist. Sunday, November 20, 2016. 2016 Daily Painting Day 47. For our project in Painting I we took a complex scene or a person and initially did black and white acrylic. The art term for this is called Grisaille. it can remain in neutrals or be used as an underpainting. My approach was as an underpainting. So below, I have the initial black and white and the finished color version. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
