I went to Dick Blick and bought the art supplies I had wanted as a birthday present. I got Inktense pencils, which are like watercolor pencils but are ink pencils. Plus a 4×6 and a larger watercolor block and a water brush. I tried out my new pencils already and they’re very nice.
I created a new painting tonight. A watercolor wash background and the word Love using the ink pencils. I’m not totally pleased with it though, but it was a fun experiment.
I started painting in watercolors again the other night. I started trying to paint some fairies (I got a new book on fairy painting the other day). The multi-colored sponged backgrounds look great. The fairies…not so great. I think I need a lot more practice at painting them. Tonight I think I’m going to start a painting of a rooster to give my mom for Christmas. She has roosters all over her kitchen. Then I’ll probably paint a fish for dad for Christmas.
Last spring I painted several pictures but I don’t think I’ve ever shown them here. I added them to fuzzydoodles the other month when I was redoing the site though. Speaking of which, I never finished redoing the site so a lot of things are missing. (If you visit fuzzydoodles anytime soon, there’s two links to “Gallery”. Only the one on the right works.)

This is my present to my mother for Mother’s Day. Created in Illustrator. I may do some more work on the leaves before the final printing.
I spent most of today painting this. I had an idea last night while trying to fall asleep for a painting for our bedroom. Our bedroom has too much empty wallspace and looks kind of drab. I should have worked on homework today, but I had fun painting this. Now we have something fun and bright to hang in the bedroom. Medium: acrylics.
