From a lesson on how to paint "Sand and Foam" in an art book I bought at Michael's. Very happy with the bottom 1/2 of the painting! Top would be better if I wasn't painting on top of an old textured painting.
A pencil sketch that I then edited in Picasa to increase the value range, and I added a frame and matte effect. I did this to see if I could still draw. Took about 75 mins. Good, but I don't enjoy drawing. I'd rather paint.
This is an exercise in value range for myself. I finally got around to testing out the 2 free Atelier Interactive Paints I got last summer. Pthalo Blue and Titanium White. Done on paper. Frame and matte from Picasa.
A quick painting based on a lesson I purchased from a great Australian artist online.
Next was trying out painting the patterns of the surface of ocean water. I don't like it.
And this was based on a YouTube lesson. I hate it--they look cartoonish with the black.
More surface waves--I don't like them at all.
