I would like to share with you more of my color studies in green and red.
Intention
My intention is to get in the habit of daily watercolor and ink studies. I am inspired by the work habits of artist James Gurney. If you read his blog, you realize this person is constantly drawing or painting. I want this habit!
Inspiration
I’m also inspired by Leslie Saeta’s 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. I’m thinking about joining in. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for some time. Why? I keep telling myself I want to increase production. This is one way to produce – commit to a painting a day.
Oh, I have been doing these studies daily; I just thought I’d post them three at a time.
Ink & Watercolor
I am putting extra effort in working with ink and watercolor. In August of 2016, I am to give a demo to an artist group using ink and watercolor. I want to be comfortable with the media.
Color Combination
Oh, why red and green? Traditional Christmas colors. Also, they are opposite colors on the color wheel. I think its helpful limiting color schemes. And, I like to practice, practice, practice! Yes, I’m continuing what I started with my previous post with my two choir girls.
My Models
The “geta” are souvenirs from Japan that my oldest sister gave me several years ago. The piggy is a Christmas ornament that another sister gave me a few years ago. And the goose came in a container of farm animal toys. This it the closest to a Christmas goose for us this year!
