THE GONG....Watercolor...

Another watercolor. This gong has been hanging in our home for many years... Kathryn and I decided to paint it for practice... Should be practicing acrylic painting, but keep going back to my favorite. Next week maybe something in acrylic.

ACRYLIC CLASS STUDIES...

This is three examples of working in class with

acrylic paint..Am having trouble adjusting.. Did you ever think a paper bag would have so many colors in it??..Ron keeps us thinking and LOOKING.. Thanks for checking. Hope it will get better..

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....
