Awesome photos JennieJo - thank you for hosting!

Well, that was easy - I already have an old oil pastel effort of that same kangaroo! Can't remember why I started with that wide blue outline, but anyway, ink and oil pastel on rough student watercolor paper.

Thanks for hosting, JennieJo!
Edit: Sorry, I just noticed this was in the June Watermedia. Oh well, there was ink and water-soluble OP involved, so... But feel free to remove, admins.

I was sure I had shared it somewhere, but couldn't recall where. Love him.

Thanks JennieJo IIRC, it was water-soluble oil pastels ,and that blue ink, with a regular white oil pastel for the those foremost grasses to try to hide the fact that I'd made the base of the tail too thick.

He's probably legit as watermedia, but I think I'll do another one to be definitely fit and proper!

 

[CaliAnn]

laika I think he's wonderful - so full of character

 

[laika]

Thanks for generous comment, CaliAnn!
I started thinking out loud in my sketchbook with a fountain pen last night and ended up with a totally blue ink-and-wash kangaroo, which was an unexpectedly pleasing doodle, so maybe there's a blue kangaroo in the works

 

[CaliAnn]

A blue Kangaroo definitely works for me - can't wait to see it!

 

[JennieJo]

A beginning - Tuffy the dog.

1. Version two layer 1 cheap WC on textured A4 WC paper. 2. the first plan. cheap WC on smooth A4 paper.

JennieJo: I love when people post on how they approach their paintings, I find it fascinating, as we all seem to have different approaches. Can't wait to see more!

Me too. That's why I do it, and just in case I don't finish it in time. Hoping to get out my almost cheapies today for the next layer.

I like Tuffy thus far, JennieJo! And I'm still determined to at least crank out a fresh kangaroo

 

[Artyczar]

I actually love Tuffy how it is now. It makes a nice abstract, but I also agree about seeing these pieces in progress. I love seeing this process. Thank you.

I am very tempted to stop now. Luckily I am really busy for 3 days so I'll have plenty of time to ponder.

It's a cool 'roo, Lamar, and I think it is just fine here, very adorable.

JennieJo, your puppy looks good so far and could be finished at this stage.

I'll try to start mine today....doing a two day show in another state and nobody is buying art right now.

I chose the coconut palm. It’s on toned grey Hahnemuhle wc book paper, 95 lb, White Nights paints over pencil sketch.

 

[Joy]

Kay, that is superb! I was going to do something similar, but that is just so perfect. Looks good on toned paper. I have the same and am having difficulty in deciding what to do on it.

 

[laika]

Wow, KKay, very well done! That photo overwhelmed me with its detail and complexity, but you waded right in and came out with a stunner!

 

[CaliAnn]

Kay: Your painting is gorgeous! I love the freedom of movement and color - superb!
