30-in-30 Challenge – Day 8
Yes, I know I missed day 7. I meant to do a piece last night but had personal things come up, so instead we get a day 8 piece. Maybe I’ll go back and do an extra piece at some point, maybe not. Anyways, this piece is probably the closest I’ve come to actually hating […]

Happy Epiphany! So I’m playing catch up from taking the previous night off to worry about my sick dog. Today’s effort isn’t my best. I’m just not feeling it and day 7’s piece isn’t going like I’d like either. I’m not done with that either so it’ll be a late post as well. I’m trying […]

The same was laying down random layers of gouache and then using plastic and paper towels bits to texture the paint as it dried. I […]

While waiting for my day 1 painting to dry, I went ahead and started on day 2’s painting. I changed my direction a bit because while poking through my mugs holding brushes, pens and pencils, I found my inking nibs. Well, they’re probably more like calligraphy pens, but whatever. I’d gotten my yellow ink out […]

Yikes! After being reminded about Leslie Saeta’s 30-in-30 challenge which started today, I signed up and got started. I did my first 30-in-30 back in October when I participated in Inktober and enjoyed that quite a bit. I’m hoping I can push myself more to get 2015 started off on a good foot. I don’t […]
