Karin Jurick's Week 5 Challenge - watercolor on paperAs if my own art references aren't enough to challenge me, I seem to want to barrow a challenge from others. I didn't have much hope for this project when I first saw this weeks challenge. I had trouble understanding what this was and spent most of the week thinking about it and how I wanted to attempt it. Finally today I picked up some paper and did this fast sketch. Wow, to my surprise it really was fun, adding layers of pigment and creating depth to the skyline in the sculpture. Now I'm thinking I should have given it more respect - using better paper and concentrating on what all was in Karin's photo reference more.
you did great, I love how these exercises have stretched us.
ReplyDeleteYou have encouraged me to get back to my watercolor papers. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job on this. Not too sure that I can do this.
Nancy,

ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to see what everyone comes up with--how beautifully you captured it, Nancy! great job!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Nancy! This looks like a tricky subject matter too - painting reflections.

ReplyDeleteGreat job Nancy! I was in Chicago for son's graduation last summer and that was the first thing I wanted to photograph with my little Infrared camera. Got some cool shots.
Love those little pumpkins too.

Nancy..you took a difficult subject and made total sense of it.
ReplyDeletethat is fantastic! two thumbs WAY up...!
All great art work starts with a quick flourish ... and what's the famous Bob Dylan saying about artists never looking back. So no regrets. I really like the juxtaposition between the geometry of the background buildings and how its softened in the reflection of the stainless orb.
ReplyDeleteOoh - this was a tough one. You did an amazing job with it!
ReplyDeleteHello there. Your watercolor is fantastic! I'll be linking you to my blog.
