Psychedelic Rocks

This was a fun exercise taught by Tim Packer on ArtAcademyLive. Rocks are painted as a single shape at first with colors dropped in. When dry, the first rocks are separated from the herd by painting the shadow that defines where they overlap the rocks behind. This continues as each new rock dries.

The negative approach lets you paint layers of objects. Pretty cool - will have to keep working on this and learn how to further this approach.

Snow and trees

This is from a short video by Sterling Edwards. Check out his website to watch him paint this scene.

The teaches me lots of possibilities in learning wet into wet and snow scenes.

Lighthouse

A quick sketch for my sister who loves lighthouses. But then, who doesn't! :)
