Looking at the image of Poudre River is a bit intimidating....all rocks and water!!!...not to mention I have not painted either one.
Taking a deep breath I just started sketching..before I knew it; I had it all latedt out:)
I stand back, look at it and think; how am I going to start this painting?? Now what??
I need to sleep on this one. I will keep you posted!
Preliminary sketches and mini paintings...I am getting my art mojo. There is some sketches I did of Pierre my male dog I love! I am invisioning some kind of collage incorporating these sketches...well at least today...need to see if I am still feeling it tomorrow:)
Today I sketched out for week 6 painting titled, "Copper Peonies." I like the "arty" background..may keep it in there!
