Since my summer was the weirdest and fullest summer ever and my labor day weekend was spent registering Artfest attendees, my daughter
Tiffany and I decided to take 2 full days to paint on the patio.
This is tiff's start. We are using 36x36 gesso boards from ampersand.
This was my attempt. It never goes in the direction you want it to go! I titled it at this point "Astronaut"
I was playing around with whites. This is where I got out my caran d'ache crayons.
I wish I could paint like tiff...
Really not happy with the outcome after 2 full days but I learned alot. I may do more on it when I can step away from it for awhile.
Tiff still says she has another full day of painting. I probably do too. But I am done for this weekend. I have other things calling my name.

It was a ton of fun by my back is tired from standing and painting for about 20 hours.

ReplyDeleteWell I love your painting...love the colors and how fluid it is, but I do like the "After" better :) Geez, I wish you would post to your blog more often...I miss your art so much:)
ReplyDeletelove those colors, & the design is so playful
ReplyDeleteI love your painting, especially the after you added details and shading with the crayons...thanks for sharing! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI must say, I liked the before better, but only by a little bit. And now that I see your process through it, I know it was so hard!
