Inked Sunset

Today I attempted a poured watercolour effect and have learned two essential things. Watercolour canvases should be used for watercolour painting. If not for any other reason, but for how much more vivid the colours could have been with a lot less paint used. The other thing is that I need to get myself some blending fluid. Overall I'm happy with the piece but it is nowhere near what I had originally envisioned for it. Not brush strokes were to have been needed for the sunset.....however I grew impatient as it wasn't working the way demonstrated and I just had to dip the brush in.

That all aside though I am very happy with it. I've listed it in my Etsy shop HERE to my husband's dismay and the free shipping still applies. I hope you like this piece and hopefully I'll try the poured watercolour technique again......this time with the proper materials though!

Moonlit Pitch

Well last night I decided to just go with it and this little piece is what crept out. The piece is rather larger than most I create (16 x 20 inches) however I was rather happy with the amount of freedom that kind of scale affords. I still like the smaller scale however this was a nice departure from the norm for me. It's also a good deal darker than I normally attempt, but again I still like it. I find myself looking for more to do with it, however it feels complete to me, so I'll leave it where it is.

The listing for the piece in my Etsy shop is HERE. Thanks for looking!

For all those looking for the visual on this piece..............

Smokey Blue and Green

Well I've finally created a few new pieces, although they are pretty similar I like that each has it's own effect with the chosen wash. They are titled Smokey Blue and Smokey Green. These pieces have been brewing in my mind for the past week and I finally decided to ignore my household duties (ie scrubbing the floor and folding laundry) and throw myself into a much needed creative spurt. I'm hoping that you all enjoy then and yes they are both for sale in my etsy shop HERE.
Here they both are.....Smokey Blue

And Smokey Green

Brilliant Autumn

Well finally after a few months of distraction I have gotten around to listing the no longer work in progress in my Etsy shop. I also have managed to paint/draw two more new pieces that I'll be listing in the next day or so as well.

For those interested you can view the listing HERE. Thanks for looking and sorry for the delay!
