gilcrease trip

Well, I went to Gilcrease on Sat. and sat down at the pond with my friend-she drew the bridge and the no fishing sign. I drew the same area but i left out the bridge, wasn't thrilled bout the bridge. so anyways, I hope yall can see it-I'll bring it on Tues. Margie-I need help with water-I suck at water.lol

yip, not in order.

Hey, these are really not in order!!!!
Working on this painting is coming along nicely The books are really standing out, I have had to change the angles several times, so that when I get to the shadows-it will throw them the correct direction.

This is really becoming fun, its amazing to me how it starts to tie together. looks like crap one day and the next time you come back to it-its not so bad.lol

now watch this

As I look at this now-8 weeks after I did this, I would not have wanted to leave it like this... This is the first time I have painted on canvas- it is certainly different than painting T-shirts. I love how we are the ones who draw the objects, and can change them if they don't look satisfying.
my painting has started with sienna that has been thinned out with mineral spirits. This is a very easy way to outline your project.

yes, I painted that so well!! Margie was right, I did need to lighten it up-(or there would have been alot of trouble sketching the still life.

wow

As my daughter stated "I'm amazed!!!!" I really thought this was really gonna be proof positive that I no longer had a single creative bone in my body. It seems that it might be growing back. wehooooooo
