MARCH 2023 WATERMEDIA CHALLENGE

[Joy]

Joe, you captured the essence of the scene with just enough information! In this case, less is more. Great job.

 

[Jo Castillo]

joe1lt, I like the teddy just as it is and the drawing is great. It is artists choice on the colors and media. You picked well and did great!

 

[joe1It]

Joy,Jo, thanks, thanks very much

 

[CaliAnn]

Joe: Great job on the drawing. Yes, it's challenging, but you did a great job.

 

[KreativeK]

Love it!

 

[Vivien]

Wonderful, watercolor paintings from you all for March! Sorry I can't comment on everyone's painting but I'm posting by my phone.
My computer has unfortunately thrown another fit, and I cant print off the images. So this month, Ive drawn one flower from the pic of the Iris from my phone, and painted it in Watercolor & Watercolor pencils. From my 15cm x 20cm sketchbook.

 

[Joy]

Vivien, that is lovely and delicate. I was thinking of doing that also, but it looks so complicated.

 

[Vivien]

Joy - Thank you. The whole pic was a bit muddled when trying to sort out the indiviual flowers, and too complicated for me, trying to draw off my phone. Saw I decided on drawing and painting just one of the flowers.

 

[Joy]

Vivien, you did a great job with shapes. I also picked one out to do vs all. I am rubbish at flowers, but I may try, as purple is my fave color!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Vivien, so beautiful. The iris is perfect. My mom called them flags. You did a great job.

 

[Vivien]

Jo - thank you. And yes Ive heard of them being called "flag Iris" too.

Joy - Thank you .- looking forward to seeing your Irish creation.

 

[CaliAnn]

Vivien: Beautiful job on the iris!

 

[CaliAnn]

Still dealing with health issues - have a break for the next 4 weeks before I start treatments again. Very loosely based on the flowers - quick, ugly watercolor and pen, but very glad I had the energy to do it yesterday. I just scribbled/doodled with a pen, then added watercolor from a dried old pallet I hadn't cleaned up.:

 

[Vivien]

CaliAnn - Im so glad you did this too, because what a great job you've made of it! Beautiful painting! I love it!

Not at all ugly, CaliAnn - in fact, very much the opposite I'm glad that you felt well enough to get back in the game!

 

[Joy]

CaliAnn, I did not know you were having some health problems, and I am so sorry. The watercolor is lovely and fresh, and the BG complements it well.

 

[Flowercat]

All these paintings you all did are amazing.
I decied to do a quick painting of the bunny and got my water colors back out for it. I think it turned out okay.

Flowercat: I love your bunny - so cute!

 

[Joy]
