Watercolor Sketches

Wow! 2 posts in one day! I will even be posting one of my 10 minute sketches later so that will make 3 posts! I am posting some watercolor sketches my painting students completed awhile ago. I had them hanging on a bulletin board and was unable to photograph them well. These sketches allowed students to play around with watercolors and try different techniques such as masking fluid, rubbing alcohol, salt and lifting out colors. If you would like to see a cool site that has a ton of free demonstrations on these techniques, click here.. If you still have not entered my art giveaway please do so!!!! You can enter here.

Monochromatic Underpainting Video

Happy Tuesday! I just wanted to post a video I made on painting a monochromatic underpainting. It is kind of long...a little over 9 minutes...I really need to work on cropping video footage! I am pretty new to making videos using my mac but am working on it!

I have also made some follow up videos for this landscape painting and hope to upload those soon.

I am also including the finished painting that I completed from these videos.

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! Any feedback would be great!

Italian Perfection

Hello! Sorry I have not written on this blog for over a week! I have been super busy with school and have had a broken camera so it has been difficult to motivate myself to write without including new pictures!

So...I was going through some of my old photos for inspiration the other day...perhaps looking for an image to paint or draw and I found some of my photos from Italy. I have traveled to Italy twice now and want to go back as soon as possible! Here are some of my favorite pictures from Florence and Venice. Maybe they will bring you some inspiration!
