WDE - Watercolour efforts from the last month.

These are my efforts for a couple of the WDEs from the last month.
I have not been doing a great deal creatively.
I am working on an Oil Commission that is taking up my creative time but when it is done I will be able to get back to painting and drawing regularly, and participating in the WDE, which I love to do.

WDE-Acrylic Pears

Finally got a chance to get back into doing the Weekend Drawing Event at WetCanvas.
I thought I'd give my acrylics a bit of a go.
This is a 12" x 12" acrylic on canvas.
So much FUN! I really enjoyed this one!

WDE Portrait.

I thought I would have another play with Artrage 3.
This is from a reference provided by in the last WDE.

WDE - Orchids

Just got the new Artrage and love the new watercolour feature.
Here is a painting I created using a reference from the WDE at WetCancas this week.
I like how it works!

WDE - Christmas drawing.

This is from last weeks WDE.
It is drawn with back pen and colour pencil.
Best wishes eveyone for Christmas!

WDE Digital painting.

For this weeks WDE at WetCanvas, I had a try at doing a portrait.
I'm not too good at portraits but I guess if I keep practicing, I might improve.
This is a digital painting created with ArtRage.

WDE Dolls.

WDE at WetCanvas this week gave me the opportunity to have a go at drawing some colourful soft toys.
ArtRage Digital Painting.

WDEs from the last few weeks.

1: Pumpkin - This was created using Artrage Digital oil paint. The colour isn't as vibrant as I would have liked but I don't mind this one.
2: Guitarist - I chose this because you cant see the boys eyes so, no eyes to do, not so intimidating to try. I enjoyed the process. It seems a little unfinished but I like the overall effort.
Artrage, Digital chalk.
3: "Polish" - This is another Artrage digital. I used the oil paint to create an Abstract, inspired by one of the WDE images. I had alot of fun with this one and really like the result.

Easter WDE - Digital Art.

Happy Easter!
These eggs were created using an image from this weeks WDE and Artrage. I used the metallics and stencils in Artrage and tried to bend the images around the eggs using Photoshop.This Magnolia is from another Image from this weeks WDE and I have used Artrage to sketch freehand and Artrage oil paints to paint.

Digital Rainy Day.

This weeks WDE at WetCanvas gave me the opportunity to try this rainy day image using Artrage. Quite like how it turned out.

WDE Oil Painting - Cherries

This is another try at painting and completeing an oil painting in one sitting. This was 2 sittings, before and after lunch!
It took ages, 6hrs and 45 minutes.
Its 16 x 20 inch gessoed board and I am used to painting ATC size!
I enjoyed the challenge of painting it.

WDE Oil Painting - Amber.

Unusual for me to paint an oil painting in one sitting.
I was inspired by the Oil painters on WDE that finish thier paintings in the one sitting and thought I would try.
Although not a bad effort, no where near the standard set by the other members.
This is 6 x 9 on Oil painting paper. Took about 1hr 45mins.

Recent WDEs.

Here are a couple of pieces done for recent Weekend Drawing Events at WetCanvas.
Both drawn freehand and finished within the 2 hour limit.

170109 - Shark: Colour pencil in my 5 x 7 sketchbook.240109 - Winston: Acrylic on watercolour card 5 x 7.

WDE with Artrage.

Here is my effort for this weeks WetCanvas Drawing Event.

I painted this with Artrage.

Digital chalk and palette knife.

WDE ATC.

This week I decided to have a go at painting this cheeky little chimp.
It's an ATC size that I will be sending out to someone in the WDE exchange I'm doing.
I like the way it came out and I enjoyed doing it, I'm having some fun with the acrylics lately!.

WDE ATCs.

I have used this weeks WDE images to paint ATCs for the ATC exchange I am in at WetCanvas.
These are both painted using acrylic paints on board.
The rose was very difficult, I had trouble with the background.
The alpacca was a bit easier 'cause he's so cute!!

WDE - Flower Vendor.

I decided to have a go at drawing this flower vendor image from this weeks WDE. First I drew him in black pen and used coloured pencil and second I painted him in acrylics. Both of these are ATCsize. THe second one is closer to the mark though.

WDE - Seaweed.

This was created using Painter essentials, digital watercolour.
An abstracty painting loosely based on a photo of some seaweed.
I enjoyed the chance to play around with colour and I like the way this turned out.

WDE - Gorilla.

Another Artrage painting.

Freehand sketch with digital chalk. Stencil for the leaves.

WDE - Panda.

This weeks WDE held some great images.

I decided to do this panda.

I painted it using Artrage and my tablet on a grey background with digital chalks.After adding burlap texture in photoshop.
