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.

Inktober Day 3 - "Bait"

Old school pen and ink. I haven't used a crow quill pen since high school - and, even then, I remember struggling to get it to work. This time, I thought I would try to create something using only cross-hatching. The prompt word today is "bait". This word took me into a lot of different ideas, but the one I ultimately landed on is based on the will-o-wisp. In my head, I imagined glowing orbs in front of a copse of swamp trees all created with layers of cross-hatching. Things had to be scaled back a bit. There are still two trees in the background if you look hard enough. Success? Sort of. It forced me to use a different kind of pen and, in doing so, made me want to keep going and get better with it.
