I am enjoying painting these
Karin Jurick challenges. I find since I am not attached to the photo's I can loosen up and paint them more or less as I would a sketch and not fuss with detail like I usually do. These photos will show you my process this week. I did the first sketch last Thursday and the drawing yesterday, waiting until today to do my painting.
Trying not let the other doodles interfere with my thoughts I decided to sketch this out on some scratch paper before attempting it in watercolor.
hmmmm,
ok, this may be fun.
Next I decided to get my drawing down on paper.
I told myself NOT to obsess with this one. Make it sketchy, get your thoughts down and don't look back. Its not a masterpiece, but I am pretty happy with it and feel I accomplished the
looseness I had wanted.

Thanks for showing us your process. I think you have just the right amount of details. It still tells the story very clearly.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. I really find I am enjoying the fact that I am not worried about being perfect with these paintings. Whew, nice de-stresser.

ReplyDeleteThank you Helen. Its very high key on screen, but not quite that in real life. I have a terrible time getting my scans or photographs to look good on-line. Seems the harder I try, the worse they become. *wink
ReplyDeleteIt's hard not be obsessed with something so interesting to you! :)
ReplyDeleteNancy love seeing the process. Very loose and comfortable. I like it!
