Summer Fun

So for the summer I have been doing some watercolors. The first one I did was just too boxed in. I'm probably going to go back and work on it some more. The second one I like better because it was somewhat successful. I don't typically work in red color tones so I was pleased with the way it turned out. The last one I did is definitely more of a commercial pieces. Sometimes I need to paint quick and simple pieces to make sure that I don't get rusty on typical things that most customers would buy.

First Piece of The Summer

So this Lady, Shirley Savage, that my dad works with at Kroger asked me to do a painting of her kids and I gladly accepted. Here is progress photos of the piece. I ended up getting $75 for the piece.

Last Piece of the Year

So here is the progress pictures of my last piece for painting III. I got really creative and had a lot of fun with this piece. I used actual mud and smacked a hand print on the painting. I got this crazy look from a lady when I was out side scraping mud up with my bare hands into a bucket. I felt like a little kid again. i also sewed black hemp into the fibers of the canvas. I think it added a nice visual effect. especially since I coulding paint a perfect black line that thin and that long to save my life. I think I would like to do more pieces like this one.
