A GIFT- DAYS 23 AND 24

day 23 Primroses watercolor on FABRIANO Artistico paper 12,5 x 18cm/ 5" x 7"  day 24 Prim and Proper   watercolor on FABRIANO Artistico paper 12,5 x 18cm/ 5" x 7"  We celebrated my husband's birthday this week and we received primroses wrapped in paper as a gift.  I approached the paintings differently even if I was working on them at the same time.  I sat down while I painted day 24 and stood up while painting the other. It is fun to see what works best. I tried to stay loose, working with larger brushes and forced myself to not fiddle too much. Something I normally do, it is very hard for me to not want to add that last wash or bit of color. I love to listen to Sky.FM as I paint. They have increased their selections and I find music to fit my every mood. For these paintings I picked Smooth Jazz. It's easy listening and great to tap your feet to! My work in  progress

Day 26-Rainy Day Primrose

"Rainy Day Primrose" 6 x 8 in./ 15 x 20cm. watercolor on paper It's a rainy Monday and I thought that painting some flowers might cheer me up. I tried a looser approach with a bigger brush ( size 20 ). This is day 26, only four paintings left. See the other artists who are participating in Leslie Saeta's painting challenge by clicking here
