Here are a couple from today’s painting focus session!

Colors: amazing. Love it.
Watercolor technique: gorgeous, fun, great movement.
Mark-making: Love that you are experimenting with different tools and creating clusters of shapes, lines, dots, etc.
Balance: It’s pretty good as is, but I think it could be interesting to see some marks outside of the watercolor shape, especially in the upper left quadrant.I’m loving the abstract work. It’s so relaxing and feels like witchcraft when it all comes together.

I know I’m coming in a little late to the party here, but this looks lovely! I agree that it’s not quite there yet in terms of the contrast, but you’ve still created a very believable and 3D-feeling rock feature. You also nailed the color mixing! This grey is spot on to the reference photo you provided.

This is a brilliant way to practice! You’re sure to get a variety of interesting words, names, countries, etc to keep you on your toes. And those Olympic circles look crisp. Very nice!

Ohh I love this! -
I love the expressiveness of your lines!
-
This is very striking! I love that it’s on black paper, it amplifies the drama. Great use of yellow and white to make that moon pop off the page!

This looks so great!! You really got some clean lines on the swords and great depth on the skull. Something that you might want to try next time is painting the first layer totally in white. That will make the yellow pop more strongly against the black. Layering a light color on a dark base can be tricky, but I think you did splendid. Oh, something else I’ve seen people do (never tried myself) is mixing fabric softener into acrylics. Apparently this makes the paint more flexible and last longer on something as flexible as fabric.

I’m sorry to hear it’s been so hectic and low energy for you lately! I hate getting into those seasons of life. Tell me, what would you do right now if you had the time and energy to do it?

WHAT that is SO COOL! I Love thissssss!

Ugh I love the texture of these SO much, I bet they’re so crinkly
-
Whoa! The color one is lovely; the black and white one is STRIKING.

Excellent work, Ria! It takes time to get it down, but it works when you keep trying. I hope you’re enjoying your morning writing!

Heard! Thanks for your thoughts!

I appreciate your thoughtful insight, Brenda Lea!
Ohh I love this!
