ROOSTER #2...Watercolor

Last week we painted with watercolor and used a picture of our rooster. He is special. Bills new camera lens captures close-ups very well.. Want to try this again, but in a more loose way..
Have some "beginner acrylic" pictures will post next week..Just some class work.
An assignment for class is to sketch at least 15 minutes a day...OK..

Thanks for visiting.

Acrylic Trials....Rooster and Still life..

These are two trials using acrylic paints...
The rooster will be a "pin up" for my sister- in- laws hens who live in the city...
The new medium is quite different from the usual watercolors.
I am taking a class at the College taught by RON ARTHAUD. He works in oil. There is an excitement in his nature that is contagious.

I will get better if I keep trying....

AMY IN MEXICO... Watercolor...

Kathryn and I decided to get that
"warm feeling"
that our friend, Amy is experiencing in Mexico. Poor thing is there for the winter months...
Two views of the same picture.
Hopefully my next post will be acrylics.
We are taking a class at Great Basin College, from a well know artist,
Ron Arthaud

WINTER SUNSET...Watercolor...

Looks like a new painting because Kathryn said it was time...Guess a month is tooooooo long to wait before something different .
Winter is my favorite season, but snow and shadows certainly need to be practice.
I like this picture. It is the second time I tried this.
Maybe have to try it again.

Don't give up..
