Two nights ago, I decided to just do a quick painting (without drawing it first) about 5 x 7 size. I chose a porch with deep colors. So far it's coming along ok. I still have the left side to finish.
As for this baby painting, I'm not satisfied with the colors. The green looks too garish to me. I will wash it off and try something different. The whole thing is still in progress, and if it doesn't work out, I'll chalk it up to experience and wash the whole thing away. It's nice to know I have a 2nd chance at something when the paper is so forgiving.
I am trying to keep my creativity up while working full-time at 10,000 villages till Jan. I even looked up some 15 minute art exercises to do on our breaks. I was surprised at this evenings soccer game when the man a few rows away was sketching. It reminded me to take mine everywhere I go. If you see me sketching in church, I'm trying a new thing called doodling the sermon. It has helped me focus and remember what was said. I'm just hoping the kids next to me don't think I'm NOT paying attention.
