One of my poorest efforts in a long time...but it's another week gone by.

I have no experience working in pastels, but it sure does look GOOD to me :)

E-J, this is so good! I love the bold strokes with the pastel and the colors are so potent yet completely natural. Really great work. My only nit...the lower left as I view the image looks like the water is going over a fall...is it? Is it the scanned image? I think it is because the strokes suddenly go downward instead of horizontal as the rest of the water. Anyway, this is a brilliant painting whether 10th plein aire or 100th!

Thank you. I'm a freak for bright colors. This is one of the first designs I did, I started adding more sky and clouds. I like it, but I do think it's a little too simple. There'll be more coming! :D

This is wonderfully bright and eye-catching. I like that it looks abstract on first glance and then your eye begins to wrap around the shapes and picks out the scene. I would not know how to begin on something like this. Beautiful!

This is a good solid landscape painting and your birch trees are really good. I have seen many landscapes done by experienced painters that did not have as much going for them as this piece does. Good for you!

Ai, how lucky you are to have such a wonderful place to paint. I love birds but can generally only view them through binoculars or telephoto lens of camera, if you exclude ducks and canadian geese. Your painting is charming. I like the simplicity of the scene and the loose brush strokes. Very nice work!

I'm curious why you call this a sketch and not a painting? It appears as a painting to me, very complete. The apples are beautifully detailed without using too much detail, if that makes any sense and the green cloth is a wonderful choice of background. This would look really nice matted and framed.

Hi, Just dropped in to see what your doing and I think your progress is very positive with your portraits. You really have the touch with color and the colors you choose work well together.

The latest portrait here, is very good with the way you have worked this out with shading and colors works very well. Keep it up.

Like the dual portrait and rich colors. The only suggestion would be to add more warms to the male in this grouping. He is put back too far by the use of the cool colors in relation to the warmest of the girl. He really isn't that distant from her physically and a few touches of warm would accomplish that. Only in my opinion though so hope this doesn't upset you.

Pretty colors and interesting perspective. do you think maybe the water needs a bit more definition?

[BizzyLizzie]

Hello and thanks for the input. I have never painted water before so I don't really know what to do next. Can you explain it a bit for me. Once I got it this far and it actually looked like water I was afraid to do any more to it.
Betty

[Mikki Petersen]

Mostly, just look at your subject. Falling water will have highlights and shadows just like any other object. Your foam at the bottom is darker than the falling water. Maybe that's because it is in shadow? Otherwise, it should be very light where the light hits it and darker where it does not. The rushing water will have glints of light and darker spots too. Hope this helps. Water is pretty tricky stuff sometimes.

I am working my way through each posting so that I can view every painting. I have been out of the painting mood until this month so I am trying to catch up.

Good luck JJ for next week, my femal friend has the same procedure next week like you I guess....all the best for you..I have a show in Austria(lot of work..puu) at the weekend and Í'll think about you

[Mikki Petersen]

Hey, Judy, it's not a race, it's just a commitment to developing through doing. You do what you can when you can. I must have missed the info on your procedure, whatever it is, but I hope everything goes smoothly.

I like the way you did the background and the leaves, the only nit IMO is that the grapes stand alone, they seem pasted on. You might have merged the outlines with the background to unify them in the whole painting.
Hope you understand what I mean, I find it hard sometimes to find the right words to express what I want to say... :)

Thanks, E-J, for looking and commenting. I've been so busy lately have found it hard to get back into the swing of painting once a week - can't even sit down for the WDE on the weekends right now. Once the weather turns to Spring out here in Wisconsin I find, when home, I have too many chores waiting... SO - I'll probably never catch up with this project. But will hopefully have a few more entered before the end... Thank you, again.

Hi everyone:

This would be my second picture and boy am I way behind on this one a week thing...but trying to catch up.

This is a watercolour monoprint on arches hot pressed 140 lb paper. The photo is not the best so the colours appear washed out. I like this technique because of the texture it creates.

Great brush strokes here...I keep finding new interpretations...what I sort of see is a boat exploding in the water...I must be feeling violent today, eh? The colors are gorgeous as usual.

Very lovely work, everyone! I have really fallen behind, but still doing artwork...right now I am taking a figure drawing class/short pose. I work mostly from photos and felt like I needed that good old fashioned "real life" practice. I have been in several shows recently so getting things framed and delivered and, of course, attending the openings! That's the best part..

I'll be back to posting here in the next week or so.....keep up the great work...the thing I have noticed recently is some wonderful use of color by folks!

This is my latest entry. It is a commissioned oilpainting done for the Dutch Consulate General living in Karachi. It is his house in Karachi, but he is going to move to Islamabad. That's why his staff got this painting commissioned, so he has a nice memory. Isn't that a great gift to give?

Had trouble with the trees on this one. Still have a lot to learn in landscapes, especially the evergreens.

Betty,

I like the composition, and I can't think of anything that needs to be changed. Now, there are a couple of thing you might want to think about when doing landscapes.

First, where do you want your light to come from? You don't have many shadows, so it is hard to tell if the light is coming from the left or the right. My biggest problem in landscapes is getting the shadows and values so that the picture appears realistic. Deciding on the direction of the light is coming from and the time of day I'm depicting has helped me a lot.

Second, the evergreen trees you struggled with really aren't all that bad. However, evergreens can be deceptive. Just because they sort of look like triangles, I used to think the the branches sloped down until I looked very closely at them. In most cases the branches actually slope up or straight out. Unless, that is, they are covered with snow or are very long. Then the weight tends to pull them in a downward direction.

Third, a reflection of the mountain in the water might be appropriate since you seem to have depicted a relatively bright and calm day. Again, this is something I am still working on.

I glanced at this quickly and thought it was a photograph of glass marbles, went back and looked again at the closeup watercolor work.
Very Nice!

Entry #28.....I've discovered pastel pencils which I love. I put down my first layers with pastel pencils and then a little soft pastel to add some texture. This is on black paper about 9 x 9.5". 24 to go!!!
