Jour 8 - 30 paintings in 30 days

ON VISION STRATHMORE
PAPER - 6 X 9 INCHES

Au tour de William maintenant!  Et non....., je n'ai  pas de commande officielle cette fois, tout comme Charles d'ailleurs. Mais,  comme je m'amuse à le dire à Chris Lally , une artiste talentueuse que je connais, nous négocions toujours.:))

William's turn now! And no....I didn't get an official request for a painting, neither did I get one from Charles. But as I have fun telling Chris Lally, a talented artist I know,  we are still negociating.:))

Jour 5 - 30 paintings in 30 days

ON VISION STRATHMORE PAPER
WATERPAINTING - 6 X 9 INCHES

Frida! Je l'ai vue un  peu partout ces derniers temps, en peintures, en photos. C'est ce qui m'a donné le goût de la dessiner. Cette  artiste-peintre mexcicaine est vraiment connue partout dans le monde. Je crois que je ferai son portrait encore, en peinture acrylique cette fois , un jour. Un autre projet.
 
30 Paintings in 30 Days - Leslie Saeta's September Challenge

Everybody knows Frida,  that  famous Mexican painter.  I've seen many paintings and photos of her lately, that's probably why I thought of drawing her. I may paint her again eventually, in acrylic. Another project!

Jour 4 - 30 paintings in 30 days

ON VISION STRATHMORE
WATERPAINTING - 6 X 9 INCHES

Je suis contente,  Sharon,  une amie peintre a accepté que je fasse un petit sketch  d'elle. Ce n'est pas tant réussi, les proportions ne sont pas tout à fait justes, mais il y a un petit quelque chose d'elle là-dedans. J'y suis allée un peu fort avec mon crayon Lumograph. Il faut que je m'en souvienne pour la prochaine fois.

30 paintings in 30 days - Leslie Saeta's September Challenge

I'm happy, an artist friend named Sharon has accepted that I used one of her photos to draw a sketch of her.It 's not quite her, but there is a little something I like in the eyes. Some proportions are wrong and when you draw, it makes all the difference in the world. I was too hard on my pencil Lumograph , I must remember for next time.
