Watercolor on Arches 140# Cold Press.

Well, I have my computer back.   Everything isn’t quite back to normal, but close.  I haven’t been able to post, but I have been painting.  This is a painting I completed yesterday.  In my class I teach on Thursdays, we are starting portraits.  This is this week’s demo for class.

I have painted this girl before, but this is a completely different color scheme than previous versions.  I think I like this one because it is lighter and brighter and her features are more expressive.  Her most pronounced feature was her full lips and I feel I captured that pretty well.  Thanks for viewing!

I have not been able to post recently due to my computer crashing. I am still without my desktop, but today I have access to a laptop and decided to try to get on and let people know why they are not seeing paintings posted every other day. This is a larger painting I completed this year for a client It is of their two beloved hunting dogs, Gunner and Duke. One is a spunky younger pup along side the older, wiser one. They were fun to paint. I’m sorry this text isn’t coming out any better than it is, but for some reason, this laptop’s setup is preventing me from doing much with my post. Hope you enjoy this painting and I really hope to get back to regular posts soon.
Thanks for viewing!

The iris reference material for this painting is the same that I used for “Purple Iris” however it looks quite different. For this painting, I changed the color scheme completely, added leaves and a flower bud, and made a solid dark background to pop the flower forward. I enjoy seeing how many different paintings I can make from one subject, so who knows what will be next! Thanks for viewing! Comments are welcome!

This photo doesn’t do the painting justice. Even with adjustments in Photoshop, the painting has richer colors and more detail. I thought doing this painting would drive me crazy, but I actually enjoyed the many petals! This is one of my favorites and I hope to do many more like it. I already have a request from my daughter! Oh, boy…

This is another still life from my class last week. Again, to get the dark shadows, I had to use the 500 watt bulb in a photographer’s lamp. I left the sticker on the pear because I think it adds interest. But, I would be interested in what you think. Should I leave stickers in the painting or keep it clean and simple? Please leave your comments!

About the Painting:

Medium: Watercolor on Arches 140# professional paper

Size: Approx. 8×10″

In my beginners class last week, I set up a still life for my students to paint. It was actually fairly large with a basket and numerous vegetables. These were sitting to the side of the basket and made a well designed painting all by themselves. In setting up a still life to paint, you need to have a good strong light source. In this case, because the room is so light from surrounding windows, I used a 500 watt bulb in a photographer’s lamp to get the strong shading needed for definition.
