First attempt at working in gouache.
These should be tomatoes but that could be open to interpretation.

Time

9 in x 12 in Canson 90 lbs Watercolor paper, magazine, catalog and junk mail clips, Copic markers, Sharpie Poster Paint, Liquitex acrylic

Didn't scan as well as I would have liked. It was a piece started this evening when I picked up the mail and looked through a catalog I receieved. I worked on this continuously until finished.

Virtual Paintout - Corsica #3

9 in x 12 in Canson 90 lbs cold press watercolor paper, W&N and Grumbacher watercolors
Yet another Corsica picture for Virtual Paintout. This is a doorway on Rue Saint-Dominque, Bonifacio. There were just too many views to paint. I wanted to paint something other than a landscape.

The door way was a little odd. The top third of the door appeared to be open and a door covered the bottom two thirds. I liked the design of the door and the bright blue street number.

I have toured the whole island so many times on Google Maps I recognize the view on others paintings.

New Journal

Fabriano Venezia 4 in x 6 in Sketchbook

My new sketchbook. Still looking for the perfect sketchbook. This one is pretty close. The sketch is Riventosa, Corsica painted with my new Daniel Smith watercolors (the same colors in art supplies I always buy first - blue, yellow and brown). I didn't submit the sketch to Virtual Paintout as I have another piece I am working on.

AJS Lesson 13

The week's lesson for my online class is slide mounts. The slide mounts were created with much of what I had on hand from sand and glitter glue to texture paint and embellishments. For once I like all of them. Three were sent out as part of a swap.
