Star Wars - Watercolor

Today the prompt was "robot" and of course I had to paint R2D2. I mean really, could there have been a better bot? I'm working more now without sketching and just diving into painting. It seems to be a better approach for the impressionist style that I lean to, with the sketching in advance, I can feel stifled.

I'm also working on Julie Balzer's month of patterns. I tend to coordinate my patterns with my doodle prompt. Princess Leia heads.. So fun!

Watercolor Adventures

Near the end of last year, I was really feeling the need to paint. I painted my nails, I painted cookies and suckers. I guess I knew I wanted to return to painting, but was having trouble figuring out what it is I wanted to paint. I discovered a couple of doodle and pattern prompts on Instagram. It seemed like a good way a great way to spend my mornings. 

I have trouble with just doodling though. I sometimes sketch, but almost always enjoy my watercolors. I've learned a lot in the daily practice and I've started receiving requests for prints. I'm taking it slow, but have started looking at reopening my Big Cartel store.
