Series









I attended last weekend a workshop with Donna Zaggotta, it was fabulous, I tried to do series of the same image by changing the value study, I liked the result and I learned a lot from this workshop. I used watercolour on hotpress paper, I also used white gouache , which is what Donna recommended.

Art in Progress

I decided to call my blog Art in Progress because as I paint and draw daily, posting my work on the blog will show the progress that I am experiencing.

I am also posting my second drawing challenge of Myrna's blog, the selfportrait drawing. this was done by looking into a mganifying mirror, so for those who know me please don't be scared.

Tulips!!
This is a painting I am donating to a women's shelter where my daughter volunteers, they are having a fund raising event on Wednesday, and ihope this painting raises a lot of money.

" Tea Party"




This started as a challenge by Myrna to do contour drawing, although we were supposed to do wire contour, I ended up doing blind contour, and it was fascinating, almost addictive.






So I decided to experiment with adding washes, I also wanted to compare paper, so I did the middle on Saunders and the top one on Lana, I am beginning to like working on Lana because of the effect I get when lifting the paint.
