FREE Orange & Blue Art Demo Video On DPW
Understanding and using color relationships to their best advantage can make your paintings more harmonious and more dynamic.
I’m honored to have created my first FREE art demo video for Daily Paintworks titled:
Orange & Blue – I Love You
If you are not already a member of DPW, you will be asked to register. It’s painless….and there are many more art tutorials besides mine, in a variety of mediums, many of them free….enjoy.
My 13 minute FREE art video not only introduces working with color complements. Also explained are supplies needed for alcohol ink Dreamscaping and a few basics to get you started.
A perfect day to say, I’m thankful for you following my blog.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Stray Drop Attack!
Alcohol Inks Are Very Responsive …
Which Is Good…And Bad,
Just One Stray Drop …

Iris No. 16 Continued – Watercolor Demo
I began Iris No. 16 for Matthews Artists Guild on Mar. 13,
and am now back in my home studio to continue.
Always, the set-up. Before I begin to paint,
I have everything I think I might need nearby.
Working wet-into-wet in sections, I’ve added a variegated wash and am now using thicker paint for the iris beard.
While still damp, I lift with a thirsty flat brush to create dimension.
More lifting.
Further along, but getting tired…have learned not to push myself.
It only takes an uncertain stroke or two
for a watercolor painting to go downhill fast…
It’s Time To Step Away From The Painting!
