Abstract watercolor

Here is another abstract color I did, on aquaboard as well.
My new box of art supplies should be coming in the mail tomorrow, so I will be having all kinds of fun soon with new supplies.

Distorted painting part 2

This figure is coming along, and getting a little stranger looking as time goes on. Taking a break from this particular piece for a little while, I am going to look at it with fresh eyes in the morning.

Distorted figure painting part 1

This is the start of a distorted figure painting I am doing. It still needs a ton of work, but I have the general shape down and part of the background. I will keep posting new pics as it is coming along

Monochromatic painting

I was thinking that I had not used my paint brushes for quite a while. I have been obsessed with my palette knives for some time now, and thought I should get back to my roots. This was done solely with brushes, and in a monochromatic style. I used purple, with tints and shades.

Abstract watercolor

Here is an abstract watercolor that finished drying overnight. This one is also painted on an aquaboard. I am really enjoying painting watercolors again.

Abstract watercolor

Here is another abstract watercolor painting I just finished, also on aquaboard. This board is awesome, but is doing strange things to my watercolor pigments, breaking them up in a way i've never seen before. I like it for this style of painting, but will have to investigate more the exact reason behind this reaction.

Abstract watercolor

This is an abstract watercolor I did on these new aquaboards I just got. They work better than any heavy watercolor paper I have used, don't bend or warp, and lift without tearing fibers. I'm excited to keep using these, they were a great purchase. Here are two pictures, one with flash and one without to show the color and detail. I really need a better way to take higher quality pictures more often.

Workspace

I finally caved and busted out my shelves that had basically junk collecting on them. Now they have joined my semi organized art space, aka my dining room. At least it looks a bit better than the boxes stacked everywhere like they were.

Wave painting part 2

Here are some pictures of the finished wave inspired painting, after the clear coat layer. Glossy finishes are tricky to photograph correctly, so the first shows the sheen, but the color is off. The other two show a close up, to show the colors better.

Pouring medium painting

My first painting done completely with marbled pouring medium. It is a really fun medium to use, leaves a very glossy finish, and shows color brilliantly.
Here are two different photos to show how it looks both with and without the flash.
