30/30 January Challenge #16

I think I bit off more than I could chew with today's painting. It involved making very thin lines with masking fluid and a fish, which I have never painted before.

#993 - Goldfish Travel Bag - 5 x 7 watercolour

My reference was another magazine clipping from my Miscellaneous file. I think the painting looks better in the photo than it does in person but I may be wrong. I also think these are two subjects that I need to work on to get the right effect.

Take some time to have a look at some of the other art on Leslie's 30/30 page.

See you tomorrow!

30/30 January Challenge #13

It is a good thing I finished this last night because I certainly didn't have time today to paint as Bob and I drove down to Sandpoint for the day.

#990 - Glistening Raindrops - 5 x 7 watercolour

A few years ago someone emailed me some photos of raindrops or dew caught in various plants. I don't know the photographer so I can't give credit but the photos grabbed my attention so I saved them and printed them for my reference files. I think I did a credible job of reproducing the image.

Take some time to visit Leslie's 30/30 page to see some of the other work in this challenge.
