WIP

Working on this small 4x6 painting in acrylic. Think I'm coming down with a cold or something today. Time to relax for a while.

More Starting Less Finishing

I've been practically sitting here all day. It's been over a year that i have been wanting this artist/craft space or myself. I've had the desk or a long time and even the shelves were bought but just not installed for maybe over half a month. Finally I had enough and needed my space where all my art things were in reach.

All those note pads are my calculations on this art fair I am looking into doing in November. It would be my first art fair! Since I'm starting from scratch the price is a bit shocking. I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to do the fair because prints and having them matted is more costly than I thought. 

Nope I haven't finished the acrylic painting from earlier of the fox girl. Instead I started a small watercolor just to try to get more art faster. 

Here is my sketch or the watercolor above. Not really alike but hoping it comes out good. 

Working On It

It seems the past few days when I am looking forward to my daughters nap time it's been very delayed. She's really testing my husband and I lately with going down for nap and bedtime. Even though nap started very late today I still pulled out the paints. No more excuses right! I knew once I started to paint it would just flow. If it didn't flow I would just throw it out the window.

 

 It has been forever since I have painted with acrylics. Acrylics dry so fast, plus the sett up and clean up took a bit of time. Once I started I was in my comfort zone. The past year or so I have focused on getting better at watercolors. Well watercolors stress me out. Acrylics make me very zen. 

5 hours later I had ever bit of white covered. My main goal for the day was to just get an underpainting. I could stop at an underpainting. Still have lots more detail to add in. The face is at the stage that I like it but want to fix some and make it look more realist yet I'm scared to mess it up. The lips need major work. The neck shadows I'm not happy with either but I'll need to dwell on them more. The background is just a base so it'll be worked on too. Not too sure what to do with the section in front of her...detailed leaves, or not detailed leaves.
