Tuesday's desk- recent watercolour florals

 

Yes friends, it's August! Haven't had much time to paint in July. These are the ones I did 2 weeks ago. Really quick abstract watercolour florals. 

Hoping to make time to paint in August. :)

Another Friday, another loose watercolour florals

 

Just a super quick one this Friday. Took 15 minutes. Including drying time. :)

Enjoy your weekend friends!

Workspace Wednesday - a reworked piece

 

So I went through some of my earlier watercolour practice pieces from last year to see if I could salvage any of them and actually use them in my revamped gallery wall. 

This was ONE of the pieces that I was pretty proud of about a year ago but cringed when I saw it with different eyes days ago *LOL* Not that I'm that much better after a year but rather I got better at spotting the areas that need work! *winks*

I went in with MORE watercolours, gave more "depth" to the flowers, added more leaves to improve the overall composition and added paint splatters for added visual interest. I finished with coloured pencils because I like the texture they create on the cold-pressed watercolour paper.

This piece is now more reflective of my current style. :)

If you are curious, check out how this loose watercolour floral piece  looked when I first painted it back in July 2021.

Friday's Florals - today's practice piece

 

Happy Friday! Can you believe that it's been a year since I started painting watercolour florals? 

I'm trying to get back to my daily practice because as you can clearly see from today's practice piece, I need all the practice I can get. *LOL*

Enjoy your weekend friends!

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*

Workspace Wednesday - sharing my floral pieces from #the100dayproject

 

15/100

Okay friends. Your gal is experimenting and exploring her creative floral expression techniques. Some are laughingly bad but I will still share them (so that nobody does the same...*LOL*)

16/100

I actually like this but blue is really hard to photograph.

17/100

This one had some serious stem issues.

18/100

Which was why I omitted them from this piece. *winks*

19/100

Decided to leave the safety of watercolours as a base and explore other mediums.

20/100

This is actually my fave of the lot. I love the mix of colours and the scribbly/sketchy look. And I'm back in love with my Liquitex acrylic inks. :)

There you have it. My progress over the past weekend. What do you think?

Mixed Media Monday - 3/100 for #the100dayproject

 

Officially it's Day 16 of #the100dayproject and I am currently behind by 10 paintings. *dramatic music plays in the background*

Here is 3/100. Trying out a loose artsy style. What do you think?

Workspace Wednesday - still obsessed with the blurry look

 

So I haven't been able to sustain the daily painting practice I've been hoping for as I navigate my schedule for 2022. But I've been able to do it every other day. Which I'm going to claim as victory because doing something is better than doing nothing right? *winks*

Just a work-in-progress piece...still obsessed with the blurry look. *LOL*

Hope you are having a great week so far friends! I bought all my baking stuff today so the CNY baking starts tomorrow!

Thursday's Workspace - attempting some flowers in a mug

 

Happy Thursday friends! On my desk today - some flowers in a mug. The mug was a little challenging since it was my first attempt at painting it. And of course, I basically eyeballed it instead of doing a proper sketch first. *LOL*

I think it looks decent if you squint a little. *hahaha*
