Paint Party Friday/Sunday Sketches

Hi guys,

Last week I finally discovered that I'm able to upload my pics again so in my previous post you can see my work from January that I shared with 'Sunday Sketches'. I have so much to share that I thought I'd now share my February work with you guys. I've been doing lots of new paintings this month, watercolour, acrylic and oils! I just can't stop! :0)

This first piece is done with mostly watercolour but I did use a little bit of acrylic on top (white and yellow speckles). I was playing around with creating a soft focus background then having the details mainly in the face. I wanted her to blend in with background a bit!

 This second piece is completely in watercolour. I just really liked her pose and I was working on getting my watercolours as bright and bold as possible.

 With these sketches I wanted to practice different emotions in my pieces. The one above is called 'Disappointed' and I really love how her eyes turned out :0)

 The coloured pencil sketch below was a challenge for me as she has a very animated face.

 This one was a doodle I did on the couch in front of the tele just yesterday....hmmmmmm it was raining so perhaps I was feeling trapped?

 This one is another new idea for a design for one of my tote bags :0)

Last but not least is a new canvas. I haven't painted in acrylic or oils on canvas for a long time and had the urge to last week.
