there I was...just pouring over beautiful nude watercolors- wherever I can find them on the inter- webs.
which prompted me to do more- expand more- practice more...
which means...I have to get my model ready (me) and repeatedly press the button to take a pic... it really is not as easy as it sounds.
practice, practice, practice....watercolors are amazing...and I'm just trying to figure out all the fun tricks...
today was more about doing quick studies...and it all begins with the sketch...a good solid sketch makes all the difference- sure...some things can be worked out later- or fixed in the watercolor painting part...but... the issues I have in the sketch....are the issues I have to deal with later.
So the first one I did....
I wanted to do a more...minimalist type of thing...still....I need to hold back more... what I think I will do next time is just do simple lines...maybe a background wash...and that is it.
So here is the first sketch...
and this is what I would like to preserve for the next try... keep the rough lines and keep it really simple..
Even when I applied this wash....I wished that I had gone a different direction... but that was the whole purpose of today...just play. see what happens.
With the final as....
and then I kept going...and tried another pose.
again...just playing around...seeing what works... surrendering to the moment and not getting too hung up on the how...or why...just going with it.
Just two close-ups of the study.
so, yeah. This post makes me see how it's important to practice...explore...be open to new stuff...always grow and sow... the seeds of love (HAHAHAHHA, that's a Tears for Fears song).
anyways....
peace and love and....sowing seeds...of love.
