Original new watercolor painting – Large Still Life

Lemon Lime

I’ve just added two new ACEO’s to my shop.

I created this first one as a part of a challenge in my watercolor group.  “Lemon-Lime”  was painted with just 3 pigments – a red, a blue and a yellow. This was really fun. I often rely on the fantastic pigments produced by my favorite companies, but it was a great exercise to create with a limited palette and mix my own colors.lemon lime challenge

This is a scan of the ACEO before I trimmed it. You can see the three pigments I used on the side and under it are some of the mixes I created and used.

You can click on either picture to find this ACEO in my Etsy shop!

While I had my palette prepared with these three colors, I decided to try painting a landscape I had sketched out. It is the view of Mt. Hood, Oregon, that we get when we have a clear day! I’m really pleased with what I could do, again, with just 3 pigments!

February Challenge

Eleven Fifty Six

Original Watercolor Painting
ACEO - Art Card
Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches

I'm on day 26 of my Painting A Day Challenge for the Month of February. It has been going so well. I haven't missed a day yet! Although I did come close one day, I remembered at 11:56 pm that I had not done a painting. I jumped out of bed and went right into my studio and whipped up this little floral painting. I looked at the clock and it read 11:59 pm. Phew! One minute to spare! Out of all the paintings I have created this month, this one is a keeper for my private collection.
