New Medium Watercolors

Old news Family got me art supplies For my Birthday. Watercolors from one and art books another and canvases and more supplies.

One book had a good section on watercolor techniques the other facial expressions .  Lots of washes blobs and scribbles later I kinda like this.

These are my first 2.

9X12 90lbs cold press watercolor paper  Van Gogh watercolors .

I will just rotate what medium I will create in today. I like the spontaneity of watercolors its a break from other styles that  are laid out planed out.

Moonlight wolf

Another of a favorite  subject the endangered  Wolf .  First night scene I am pleased with the results. This painting had many lessons for me to learn the successes were many, success = learn something . I  take all knowledge forward to strengthen my skills.

This was completed October  2012  . This is acrylic on canvas  16 x 20.  Every time I put paint on a canvas I get better with either  techniques  or confidence  or both. . I hope you enjoy  viewing my artistic growth thank you for looking.

Lake side Watching the sun come up.

I did this a while ago. Very last of 2012 or beginning of 13. I took a reference and mimicked the colors in the reference sky to a lake view near here.

 

This is on watercolor  paper with a Pastel ground painted on it.  I used some nupastels , blick soft pastels, art spectrum, Sennelier, pastel pencils ,and some Schmincke. There are some brands out there which I want to try before I   chose the main hard medium and soft  pastels which I will invest in
