Nightshade

As usual, I was looking for some new ways to do things. This time around, I wanted to try wetting each small area independently before applying paint. I really like the control and the results I was able to achieve with this technique.

The paint is still drying on this piece as I type this, and I am finding out just how important it will be to take better photos of my paintings before I post them. Thankfully, some adjustment layers in Photoshop allowed me to correct the colors in this study of nightshade.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
