I have switched back to my miscellaneous file and found a picture that I tore from another of Bob's computer magazines. This was a fun piece and really didn't take much skill to paint.

| #989 - Lurking in the Dark - 5 x 7 watercolour |
An undercoat of Quinacridone Gold, then a nice dark mix of Ultramarine and Burnt Umber; some negative and positive painting and voilà it was done! If you are wondering what it advertised here is the caption: "In today's digital economy, predators evolve. Does your security?" The photo really caught my fancy and I am glad to have finally painted it.
It is hard to believe that this is just the eleventh day of the challenge; the time seems to be going so fast. Don't forget to check out the other art on
Leslie's 30/30 page because some of the work is seriously amazing.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love the highlights Val, the leaves and grasses are wonderful. Pretty perfect piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. The leaves and grasses were the hardest part of the whole thing, mostly because I didn't have the right brush with me at Art Club. I like your alliteration - lol.
DeleteWell there you go again coming up with something I would never have thought about. Two layers with one slightly underlapping the other. Great idea and what a striking piece. Love those eyes!!
ReplyDeleteMorning Nelvia. The two layers worked so well together to give it a back-lit effect that I really like too. And the eyes?- even the wonky ones work - lol. Have a great day!
DeleteI'm so impressed that you can manage these challenges, Val, especially when you are so very busy working to champion the arts in the valley. Well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Win. With the changes at the Chamber of Commerce I have had a bit more time on my hands this month. AND, it made me realign my priorities so that I have decided to resign my volunteer position and let someone else carry the load - three years is long enough. thanks for stopping by.
