As per my previous blog posting, Myrna Wacknov has awarded my blog with the Arte y Pico Award; thank you! Myrna Wacknov’s blog (http://myrnawacknov.blogspot.com/) is wonderful and I recommend reading it on a regular basis.
Pick
Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award which is here: Arte y Pico.
Here are the first two of the five blogs I’ve chosen. Enjoy!
Lauren Everett Finn, (http://artworkandartplaylaureneverettfinn.blogspot.com/) I met Lauren on the “Wet Canvas” watermedia forum. Her “Blue Welsh Corgie” and her aerial series caught my eye. Lauren’s recent posting of “Orange Roof at Night” is stunning. Lauren is from Michigan.
Randy Carboni, (http://randycarboni.blogspot.com/). I found Randy Carboni’s blog through the “Wet Canvas” watermedia forum too. Recent postings include a wonderful series of pen and ink with watercolor washes. He also has a mind for cartoons; very cool in my book. Randy is from Connecticut.
I will be announcing the additional winners later this week.
I just couldn’t give up on this design yet. So, I decided to paint over some of the design with an opaque blue hue acrylic. I like the mixture of transparent watercolor and opaque acrylic. The figure of "Torsten on Bass" is still flat and part of the patterns of shapes. However, I think I improved the design. This is a case of "it’s not working, so why don’t I try something I’ve been meaning to try". I think that sometimes its great to jump in and experiment; its fun and I learn. Thanks for looking!
This is my first color study of Design 8 “Torsten on Bass”.
I’ve been doing some cooking the last few days, more than usual.
