Wetcanvas

With the Yankees in the play-offs/World Series I have been falling behind on my painting. I have three going at the moment and will post updates soon.

Over at wetcanvas I have been asked to be a moderator. I have accepted.

3. I work as a packaging artist.

4. I enjoy ice fishing.

5. I play guitar.

6. I enjoy vegetable gardening.

Now to nominate 7 other blogs.

Ducky update

A little further along. The water color portion is done. One to more acrylics.

Just Ducky

I'm trying something a little different here. I used liquid acrylics. I mixed them in a squirt bottle and tried to draw while squirting the paint out. It didn't work out quite the way I wanted. Plus there was some dried paint in the bottle that kept clogging the tip. But so far so good. I can work with this.

Post Cards

Inspired by Peggy Stermer-Cox I broke out my watercolor pencils. I whipped out a couple of post cards for friends. I had a little trouble with them at first, but started to get the hang of them after a bit. If anyone wants to do a post card exchange with me let me know.

Goat Head Soup

All done. The picture didn't come out so well. The blacks stand out a little more than the real deal. But you get the idea of the peice.

Further along

I have not been painting much this week as I have been very tired from work. But I got a little further along tonight.
