This is a revised piece from the other day (it was called Clouds over a Lake) that wasn't very cheerful. I've pretty much repainted everything but the bones. Much better.

Sky in Watercolors
Watercolor and Pastel on Arches Paper, 12" x 16"
Available at $20 plus $7 shipping.

I watched my Webinar through Wet Canvas again yesterday, and Johannes was doing watercolor sky demos. The colors he used were pretty amazing, so I thought after the Webinar was done, I'd give it a try. Raw Sienna, Indian Red and Cobalt Blue are all the colors in this sky. Neat, isn't it? I enhanced the water with some pastels, and I'm happy with it, though it's very simple.

I had not tried one in blue yet, so this is it. The blue is actually Cobalt, while here it looks a little blue-green. The watercolor isn't, though.

Roses - SOLD

SOLD at $40.00, includes shipping.

Sitting down after class this aftenoon, I was thinking landscape, and found a couple of roses to paint instead. Figured they would either work or be a disaster. (I have had trouble with roses.) These are actually not bad. Yay!

Oil over Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $20.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Interesting new idea from the "Essentials of Painting Skies" Webinar yesterday: paint a sky in the negative. I first painted the entire sky in pink, white, orange acrylic and let that dry, then painted in the blue overtop in oils with negative painting. Very cool.

SOLD at $25.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Two revised at Twenty Each - SOLD

Oil on Canvas Paper, 14" x 14"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping

Sunday Drive, Revised
Oil on Canvas Paper, 14" x 14"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping.

I liked both of these well enough to revise them and re-post. On the Maples, I added more color, and fixed the "river" that was running through the middle. Also I changed the shapes are directions of the trunks. On the Sunday Drive piece, I added the ending of the fence, and put leaves in the road. There was too much road before. They both look better to me.
