Illustration Friday - Drifting

This is my Illustration Friday Entry for Drifting. It is inspired by a book I had as a child "Tilly the Turtle".

Acrylic Course Painting.

This is a painting from a course I am taking at www.learntodo.com. Working from a photo we had to paint an under painting of black, grays and white. Then paint over it. I found it really helped with the lights and shadows and various shades of green in the painting. I also learned I need to spread my color around. I was happy with how it came out. I felt it had more depth and was more interesting to look at then my other paintings.

Cootie Catcher

This is my entering for Illustration Friday. The theme was "unfold"

Water colors for on line course

These are a couple of water colors I did recently for a on line water color course I am taking. The one with the squares was a fun exercise. We divided the sheet into nine squares and cut out the middle square. Then we were to either drop or purposely pick a section of a water color we liked and try to emulate it in one of the squares. I was happy with the results because I struggle getting light into my water colors and this helped. I particularly liked the little lady bug square, which was also one of the hardest.

Beach Rocks

I can't believe how much time has past since my last post. Whew... This was a challenge for the White Rock Art Society. The challenge was "Life on the Peninsula"
Yes, White Rock BC is a Peninsula.
