One thing I’m going to try to do this year is paint more large paintings. By large, I mean something in the 11”x14” range. I do so many 4x6 or 5x7….so I’m branching out a bit.
Here is this weeks’ large painting. More flowers.
I usually start the painting on Sunday afternoon. It takes a few days of layering to get it “finished”…since I can only work on it in the evenings.
By Wednesday or Thursday, it’s ready for ink. This is usually done while watching TV. I’m good at multitasking ☺
Tomorrow is February. Already. That means 29 Faces. I’m playing. Who else is making faces in February?
Now off to see more paintings at Paint Party Friday!!
Oh wow! This is gorgeous! It really made me smile to see all of these wonderful flowers in a field. Lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteYour colors are awesome. Did you use Tombows?
ReplyDeleteNo, this painting is watercolor and Micron pens.

ReplyDeletelovely colourful work, flowers are my favourite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. I love the bright orange color. Do you paint first and then go back and do the ink work?
ReplyDeleteyes, first i lightly sketch in with pencil. very loose. then layers of paint. ink is always last. that's the fun part!!
Deletethese sunflowers are so fun and cheerful!!!! love them!!!! Happy PPF

ReplyDeleteI do my paintings in the same order you do...because I can't afford good waterproof pens! :) Love these flowers!!
ReplyDeleteI may play along with 29 Faces, but I'm not going to commit to every day. Keepin' things loose. ;)
Your bright sunny flowers really lift my spirits while outside my window there are icicles as long as Pinocchio's nose. Marvellous art. Happy PPF
