More floral paintings for the week

78/100

It's full steam ahead now as I finish up all my floral works-in-progress for #the100dayproject. They don't have to be perfect, just have to be done. :)

79/100

Apparently ink and wash is the way to go. Comes together really quickly because the details are added with a pen.:)

 

80/100

Tried my hand at something soft and delicate.*winks*

81/100

When you mess up your watercolour painting, just add pen so it appears deliberate. *LOL*

Fsst and furious painting to get caught up...floral projects update

 

31/100

Great news friends! Your gal here did some fast and furious painting over the weekend....and *drumroll* is all caught up on her creative projects for #the100dayproject! *high fives all around*

32/100

Admittedly some are a little amateurish but the gal did try to use a wide variety of art supplies to vary the outcomes and give some love to her neglected art supplies...*winks*

33/100

This one was pure stress relief with all the splattering. Erm...going for the impressionist abstract look. Did it work? *LOL*

34/100

Another fast piece with a watercolored base and then adding some details with coloured pencils. :)

35/100

I always struggle with roses but I try anyway.

36/100

Really wanted to try the ink and wash technique again (aka lazy person's way to complete a painting).

37/100

Trying to impressionist style with water-soluble mediums and acrylic paints.

38/100

A play with purples and greens.

39/100

Abstract hanging blooms. Not sure if it worked. If in doubt, add some paint splatters to make it look artsy...hehehe..

40/100

An attempt at a monochromatic painting. This was fun!

What do you think?

Mixed Media Monday - blooms in a pot

 

Even though I'm really enjoying my renewed love for watercolours, I'm still a mixed media gal at heart. Meet today's Mixed Media Monday - blooms in a pot. :)

Here is the piece with just watercolours....a little flat because there isn't any contrast.

Did I want to slowly add more layers of watercolours to create the darks? Nope. So I went in with a black acrylic paint marker for the darks. And a white gel pen to add highlights. That's the beauty of mixed media. :)

Happy week ahead friends!

P/s: Playing catch-up this week. :)

Friday florals - another abstract piece

 

I've really been enjoying my quick abstract florals these days. I do them while standing so I stick to my time allocation (when I sit down, I tend to fuss more with the details and lose track of time)...and no paper dies from my ugly painting...*LOL* The paper needs to be flat on the desk because I like to work with wet on wet techniques. 

Happy weekend friends! :)

Mixed Media Monday - tulips in a jar painting

 

In today's Mixed Media Monday - I'm sharing a tulips in a jar painting that I did just today. It started off as a morning practice piece. Then I had some pockets of time in the afternoon and just "finished" it while listening to a science podcast. 

I'm really enjoying my new desk by the window for painting in natural light. It's so lovely to not have to clear your desk to do your other work. *winks*

Hope you are doing well in your neck of the woods. Tighter restrictions are back in place here with social gathering sizes reduced from 5 to 2. The COVID fatigue is real. I've been keeping my home-cooked meals a lot more simple. And devoting every extra bit of time I have to self-improvement. If I'm going to be stuck at home, I'm going to maximise that time and work on being a better version of myself.

This week's abstract floral practice

 

Eh.. I may be a tad obsessed with this whole blurry, atmospheric effect when it comes to watercolours. Here I was trying to paint some watercolour blooms. And I had a minor mishap with a leaf..and I couldn't lift the colour off to "save" that area. So I just "flooded" the piece with water for the blurry effect, dabbing to remove excess water and using my paintbrush to control where the colour went. 

I really love how artsy it looks. :)

Happy weekend friends!

Mixed Media Monday - lilacs in a glass jar

 

So I'm currently obsessed with loose florals...at least for the last week. This piece - lilacs in a glass jar - was done with watercolours except for the white highlights which were done in gouache. 

I am tempted to go in with some dry media to really get some details in...but I shall resist ...because it's supposed to be loose florals, not detailed florals. *LOL* 

Happy week ahead friends! :)
