Watercolor Pastel Challenge

After watching a Richard McKinley DVD, I decided to accept his challenge of doing the same painting on different colored paper. This was the actually the second painting done on warm ochre paper.. This was fun and exciting. I have been using these winter months to challenge myself to learn more about techniques, color, etc. Getting prepared for Plein air painting if Spring ever gets here. I am excited to go Saturday to the Ohio Plein Air Society annual meeting, a day long event with demos and to see all my plein air friends.

WETLAND GOLD

This is the final photo...am not taking the frame apart again! Had to print my name darker so it would show up. It will go to get juried this month.

Wetland Gold, and others

I have been working on this for about a week, even took it in and out of the frame about six times and may have to again if the photo isn't good. I wish I could just say to some one Frame it this way! and then I wouldn't have to do it...but it is costly to have it done. I got permission from the photographer to use the photo and added the ducks...it is a little different from the photo but close enough I needed permission.
