The Wizard came tonight with the trick or treaters.
Clouds over Lake Michigan – Acrylic
This was a painting I did at a recent workshop taught by Andy Eccleshall. An amazing artist from Edmonds, WA. My first attempt. I think it will be easier in oil.
Peruvian characters – watercolor
Using photographs taken while in Peru on the Inca trail
Calgary Stampede First Nation Ladies – Gouache painting
From a picture I took many years ago. The background is added – not part of the original scene.
Two hour painting exercise
For a few weeks I have been auditing a class that encourages you to paint fast and loose. You are assigned a picture when you walk in to the class and then, with no pencil sketching, you are asked to paint directly in acrylic onto paper with the gaol of completing in two hours.
Below are my attempts alongside the supplied photo. I think the last one of the radishes was my best attempt.
A winter’s stroll in Paris in watercolor

Watercolor – Lisa in Normandy
I haven’t done much watercolor for a couple of months and this attempt shows that I slipped back into my tendency to overpaint. Lesson – practice every week, and less is more…
