A FEW OCTOBER BEAUTIES

 

A  few photos taken during a few walks this October.  The days are colder now.  Not cold, but you can feel a hint of winter coming in a few weeks...

OCTOBER LEAVES

 

Just a little card I made of October leaves.  So pretty this time of year, but almost have hit their peak and are browning or falling now.  

GOUACHE - A BIT BETTER

 

Worked a bit more on the middle yellow onion to give it more dimension.  Better now.

PAINT PAINT PAINT UNTIL....

 

Sometimes you just need to play and enjoy the paint doing it’s thing.  October brings out the yellows, golds, oranges and reds and that’s what I played with here on a half sheet from my Strathmore Visual Journal (140# watercolor cold press).  

This little painting was made after watching the latest Strathmore online lessons (free) about watercolor and lettering.  My lettering is not beautiful or elegant, but it’s the way I do it.  The saying comes from Angela Fehr, who gives online lessons, too and I’m signed up for her Watercolor Mastery course right now - a 3 month course to try to break through into the next level!!  And lots of play and experimentation. So, I may be absent for a while unless I have little things to share.

Take care, enjoy your fall (or spring) weather and stay safe, wherever you are.  Keep painting, writing, creating, living!!

GOUACHE ON WATERCOLOR PAPER

 

Just a little something to keep me painting something while I’m waiting for something...
