I haven't been posting in a while, been busy with so many things going on. Here's a painting i starting working on this week. Just working a couple of hours before hitting the sack as it really soothes the mind.

I'm using the seed packet in the first picture as reference. I'll post more progress pics as it goes along.

Thanks for looking!

My wife is a fantastic artist and I've started doing a little art as a way to spend time with her. Only chalk pastels and willow charcoal so far, but it's rather rewarding.
Good work, I really like your color blending
 
That looks great,I hope you can keep showing us the progress til the end.The leaves look so life-like!

Coming along nicely...I am assuming you are using acrylics? Curious to see how you do the center seed area since it is usually very geometrically accurate...mother nature is so capable that way!!


I'm using LUKAS Studio oil paints. Plan on finishing all the petals first, then think about how to tackle the central parts.

Finally got my paint order in with a ton of new colors.....so I knocked out the first disc tonight.

Thanks for looking!

Excellent work of art there, Pitoon. The relaxation point you make is well taken.

When you are done with the painting take a photo of it and use MS Word to send an image to your printer on label stock and then wrap it around a blank, cast it and make it into a unique pen. There is probably a tutorial in the library to show you how to do it.

Thanks! When i get this one done i may actually oil paint a couple of tubes and cast those. All depends if i can squeeze it into my crazy schedule of projects!!!

It actually might be easier to paint and cast a tube-in blank. Choose a light wood (Holly, e.g.) or a light colored acrylic.
 
The talent of people on this site just puts me in awe of them. I have difficulty with stick figures.

I can do a ton of things....only thing that is holding me back is time.

It all depends if a person is willing to learn a new skill set. There has to be that "want" to learn something. I'm 100% positive you can draw, you just need to practice.

Just look at the first pen you made and one that you just finished. There will be a HUGE difference. Everytime you practice you perfect your skills along with learning new ones.

PS: I just noticed that you have a SEABEE logo as an avatar. I was a "General Construction Equipment Operator" when i was in the Army. We used the SEE truck quite a bit, did you?

Just finished putting the frame together today. So this painting is pretty much complete. I still have to sign it, but need to figure out the best location.

Thanks for looking!
