You did that in your 21 days. I remember you said you had a complementary color as a base, and it came through the finished painting. I have so much to learn and I love the process. <br /><br />As I told you once, I like how you paint where I can see paint strokes. She does it, too. I love that.<br /><br />I believe this exercise in daily art projects will help me become loose (because it's so fast), and get better just from all the practice.jayne2345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011123612178290477.post-7609634740275754092011-01-11T19:30:39.318-08:002011-01-11T19:30:39.318-08:00Skin is really hard.

One artist I really like uses black backgrounds and it sort of forces you to use color. Here is a link to her site, maybe you'll like her work:<br />http://karinjurick.blogspot.com/Marty Owingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13780906928859406491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011123612178290477.post-22813467670980780292011-01-11T15:20:44.499-08:002011-01-11T15:20:44.499-08:00Thanks, Marty.

I mixed yellow, red, orange, and some brown. <br /><br />I haven't started today's (Tuesday) project yet. I just saw a cute liitle black girl in the newspaper, so maybe I will try to do a picture her. I'd better get started.jayne2345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011123612178290477.post-949162043367099822011-01-11T07:15:23.942-08:002011-01-11T07:15:23.942-08:00You're talent with watercolors is amazing.

This painting really captures the moment. Like a photo in paint.Marty Owingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13780906928859406491noreply@blogger.com
