Artwork in progress

On the way home from Wal-Mart, the place of blender triumph, I did some drawing and painting. Still not finished with the piece, but, here’s an album that shows some of the work in progress.

“Work in progress”http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=82013&l=2831d&id=612813763

Hopefully that’ll work, anyway! Though, I shall probably have to change the name of the album. I mean, once I figure out what the name of the painting is, anyway. Otherwise, if I used the same album for all pieces, it would get nigh on confusing to us all! Especially me!

For those too lazy to go and read the description, I shall post a couple of the photos here .. if it works! lol

That’s the first wee drawing of the painting, done in charcoal on canvas

That is while still in the van, but having started with the watercolor paints.

No, i don’t usually paint in the van. Sometimes, though, you know, you just gotta do what you gotta do. I had the paints, they were watercolors, my clothes were black, and we were on our way home, so if there had been any major incidents or accidents it wouldn’t have been too big a deal.

The main thing i learned from working on this painting, is that I am really, really bad with brushes. Well, the business end of them. I can kick butt with the handle, doing quasi-pointillism

    haha yes, I guess so Me, as well. I think some oil pastels are going to become involved, today, but, not sure.

    will enjoy watching this blossum and hearing about your triumph over the brush

  • Arletta replied

    lol no triumph, so far. I tried using it, lost control and had to make many alterations because of it. So.. hm.. I don’t understand how I could have done it, either. I mean, my fingers are not small delicate affairs and the brush is! I know I have done much better before. Must be the way it’s cut. I expected detail, I got broad swathes of color grrr

    Well, I’ll know not to use that brush for that application, again.
