Painting Tools

This is a painting I did for our Brush and Palette club project for a board of painting tools paintings to be displayed at Kingwood Center this Spring. It had to have some red in it and it had to be 8x10. And I had to finish it as I need the oil paints that were in the still life!!

Yellow Pepper

This week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, Paint a Vegetable. I am trying to do a color per stroke. Gosh, all those yellows, over-painted. but turned out okay. I learn so much from these challenges.

Tears of the Dragon

This was last week's Daily Paintworks Challenge. One color per stroke. Very exciting to do. 8x8 Oil. I am enjoying these challenges. It is getting me out of the box. The plan is to mix paint up ahead and that works pretty well. My problem is getting them photographed and uploaded correctly.

One color per stroke Challenge

This is how I want to paint. Very difficult to not just move that paint around and keep stroking!! It takes a lot of planning and mixing color ahead of time. Lots of paint!
I do love these challenges. Just think how my painting will go if Spring ever comes.
