Painting a day: Day 12

This is another one of the people I met while in South Africa. Siya was a really cool rastafarian who showed me a rasta hand shake and sold me really big hat.

Scan-tastic!

The Scans worked out a lot better than my camera, the quality is a lot closer to how the work actually looks now. I've replaced the older lower quality pictures.

Painting a day: Day 2


Here's number two, I feel more comfortable working  monochromatically  with watercolor for some reason. I'm having trouble getting the quality I want with my digital camera, I'm going to try making scans of them in the University Mac lab later today to see how that does.

A painting a day.

I've recently started a project to do a painting a day, I expect it will last for at least a month. The studies for this project will be based primarily in watercolor. I'll start posting just as soon as I find where my digital camera is hiding...
