30-in-30 Challenge – Day 12
So I worked ahead this past weekend. Partly because I was just in a creative mood and partly because I wanted to give myself some leeway for relaxing in the evening if I wanted. Day 12 was more about me being a bit silly, which is fine. I just drew some lines on the paper, […]

Technically, it’s still the 11th for another 32 minutes here, so I’ve made it! Although to be honest, I finished this piece yesterday but didn’t edit the photo to post online until this evening. So it’s entirely my fault this has been posted so late. Still, day 11’s piece is one of my favorites so […]

Yes, we’ve reached one third of the way through Leslie Saeta’s 30-in-30 painting challenge. Yay! I’ve only completed 8/10 paintings but I’m still considering this a success so far. I’m trying some new things out for fun, playing around with techniques and styles, and overall enjoying myself quite a bit, and what is art for […]

Yes, I know I missed day 7. I meant to do a piece last night but had personal things come up, so instead we get a day 8 piece. Maybe I’ll go back and do an extra piece at some point, maybe not. Anyways, this piece is probably the closest I’ve come to actually hating […]

Happy Epiphany! So I’m playing catch up from taking the previous night off to worry about my sick dog. Today’s effort isn’t my best. I’m just not feeling it and day 7’s piece isn’t going like I’d like either. I’m not done with that either so it’ll be a late post as well. I’m trying […]

It’s day 5 of the 30-in-30 Painting Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta and I’m still at it. Sounds strange to say that when it’s not even been a full week yet but sometimes life gets in the way and things fall by the wayside. I don’t plan to let that happen here. Right now I’m […]

I’m continuing with the theme/technique/style that I used yesterday but this time, I used watercolors for the background. I’m not sure if I’ll go back to the gouache this month but I would like to. Today’s piece is actually in (three) pieces, all of them small. I did these as one wash and then added […]

I’m a bit late in getting this up, but considering I just finished, it’s right on time. Continuing the theme of “Growth” I did something the same and something different. The same was laying down random layers of gouache and then using plastic and paper towels bits to texture the paint as it dried. I […]

Yikes! After being reminded about Leslie Saeta’s 30-in-30 challenge which started today, I signed up and got started. I did my first 30-in-30 back in October when I participated in Inktober and enjoyed that quite a bit. I’m hoping I can push myself more to get 2015 started off on a good foot. I don’t […]
