I am taking a watercolor class. I wanted to try it. Watercolor is a whole different animal and I think I need to be more water and less pigment because I am painting like an acrylic artist, not the pretty watery colors that are watercolors. See for yourself:
Not to mention those little tubes of paint won't last long the way I am going. Oh well. Tomorrow night is critique and we'll see if they are as hard on me as I am on myself.
Happy Chinese New Year, by the way. Did you know its the year of the Rooster? I have done a couple of roosters, (see this blog for pics) for other people of course, but when I tried to do one for myself...
I got one pissed off chicken! I wanted to do one of those cool multi colored, free flowing birds, like what these artists did:
I didn't want to copy them, so I did them by memory. Granted its been MONTHS since I saw these, so I winged it. (no pun intended) lol... you would even think I might have been in a bad mood that day, eh? Nope.
So, a work-in-progress... or I will gesso it over.
The artist reception went well. We had a small but nice exhibition and crowd.
Well, stay tuned.
