Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day 6

 

"Oh Oooooo  She's Found the Hair Dye"

Acrylics 12" x 12" on 2" Box Canvas

Had great fun with color doing this painting. 

Was not my original intentions,  the brushes just took over, and I just followed along.

It was a good week with this challenge, trying at times, as I'm not in the groove yet, but, I can feel a good change in all this...

My goal this week, it to get all caught up and simplify my compositions somewhat.

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day One

"Market Marrakesh Morocco "

Acrylic 12"x6" on Canvas

I really enjoyed painting this scene, I could feel and see the heat of the hot desert, and the wonderful smells of all the spices and exotic goods sold here.  My wish is that you can see and smell those things too.

This painting was done for a New Painting Challenge for September that I'm participating in.......

Sharron "Shez" Marshall: Guitar Color Burst

 This was painted from a beautiful one of a kind glass art guitar .The owner took a photo for one of our WDE's (weekend drawing event) on WetCanvas, for us to paint, draw, etc. She knew we would love the colors and lights from it. She was right! This is what I did!! Acrylic 16X20 gallery wrapped canvas.

Hydrangea - Finished !!

Finished this today, and got it entered in the project on time!!
I'm actually quite pleased as to how it turned out. Have a couple more in mind, larger scale.
The background was an experiment for me, as I usually do a very dark one,
but wanted to play with the light and colors, hoping to give it a lovely airy flair.:)

Acrylics on 11x14in Canvas....no need to frame if you don't want to.

Hydrangea WIP (work in progress)

One of my favorite flowers, and much beloved by all. This delicate beauty, looks wonderful on the bush, and stands up as a lovely dried flower, in many vases over the years.
I wanted to get into the world inside this flower, one of the few that gives us a true blue color.
I consider this painting a study, for a much larger one I wish to do.
This one is for an artists monthly event at WetCanvas Florals forum.
Not quite finished, as I need to do my shadows, and highlights yet, and post it later today at WetCanvas. But wanted to see if there were any other fixes needed first, and they seem to show up better posted here...........

Rose .....almost finished

I've joined into a June project at WetCanvas -a wonderful artists forum I'm a member of- and we were to paint a rose and post it on the due date for all to see. I decided to do a hybrid tea rose and concentrate on the heart of it, the core of the rose. I've almost finished it, still some work left, with the outer petals and at least one more color glaze maybe two, to get to the color I want. But so far I'm quite pleased with it, and thought I'd post it here to see what it looks like.

Used Golden Full Body Acrylics on 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas.
I've carried the painting on to the sides, so no need to frame it unless one wants to.

Sketchbook Vine Charcoal Drawing #5 - Young Woman

Still working on doing some drawings every day if possible, to improve my skills.
This one was done tonight while watching a movie "Catwoman" ......I had never seen it before..... with Halle Berry, Sharon Stone.
Wow Halle is one incredible beautiful woman, I may, just have to try draw her sometime, and her figure is to die for!!!!
I really enjoyed the movie, and in the end had this drawing done. I did not work too hard on it, but going to post it as I don't want to nit pick on a study.
I find I'm working with the charcoals much faster, and more efficient, so that's good, also getting a good likeness a lot better, and faster. So I'm pleased.
Would love to hear from you.....Crits & Comments always welcome!!
Done with Willow Vine Charcoal
About 9 x12 in my Sketchpad

Vine Charcoal Drawing "Jack Big Plume" Native American Sarcee Tribe

Hi there, here's a new piece I did this past weekend, entered a drawing and painting event and Jack was a reference. Just had to have a go at him. Such a fabulous face to work with.
I don't use my charcoals that much and really enjoy them and need to do more portraits, so pulled out the willow vine charcoal and this is the result.
We have a two hour limit and then are to show our works finished or not at that time....I was pleased to have him done.
I'll probably see something that needs a touch up after a couple days or so,
but here he is.
Size is about 12 x 16 inches

NUDE BODY SHAPES LINES CONTRASTS Pt5

Well, I'm pleased, did some more work last night, so I'm adding these to my Body Shapes Lines Series. More work with vine charcoal and conte, playing with light. Will give them a couple days to digest then do some touch ups where needed. They show well in real life, not as dark as here. Would look good framed in Black. about ll x9 and 9 x 9.

Thanks for looking. Comments and Crits welcome.............you learn something new everyday.
