365 Photo Project - Everything June


Another month almost gone and here we are, half way through the year now. I have to say I am quite proud of myself for sticking with the project through thick and thin, and at this point of course having a half decent camera phone should mean I have absolutely no excuse for capturing an event from each day as the year progresses.

Fishermen Returning Home - Second Watercolor Painting

Image
With the rain coming down outside and lack of any natural light I felt inspired to make a colorful landscape scene with green hills and blue slightly overcast skies with a zero percent change of rain. So of course using a photo I took in Iceland a years back wasn't going to fully fit the bill but I thought if I took a little be a artistic license with the original photo I could build upon it. Fishermen Returning Home I really feel happy with the outcome of this one having made an attempt at following 'wet on wet' technique with the sky. Also made an attempt at pulling down the colors to blend them from the darker purples to the lighter sky blues. I returned to the sky later once it had dried to add the fluffy little clouds layering in 3 shades of grey and white to give a feeling of depth that I really like. The Original Photo I feel like I need help on foregrounds for landscapes. Looking at the original photo and I felt like it was lacking a little something for perspective

Earth and Crab Nebula, Acrylic 5x5

Crab Nebular  A weekend trip to the local art store lead me to find some '2 for 1' deals on some small black canvases that as soon as I saw them I thought 'outer space'.  And finding something like this on sale gave me the confidence to experiment and try my first every Acrylic painting on canvas (outside of a Paint night event last year).   3rd Rock From The Sun Having only painted a couple of times previously, I was excited to see that these turned out so well that I wish I bought more of these little canvases while they were on sale. I did watch many many tutorials on how to paint a space scene before attempting these, and definitely feel like there's plenty of room for improvement but I had so much fun on such a small canvas and using a toothbrush dipped in white paint to flick on the stars was a great messy stress reliever. I would definitely recommend doing this to anyone feeling intimidated with larger canvas sizes.
