Day 5

As usual, I have taken on too many things at once and am spending more time sitting at my art table than the rest of my responsibilities warrant. But...I'm enjoying the variety of challenges. I did my abstract assignment last night and this morning, painted this study below for day 5 of 30x30 Direct, and have two portraits to paint for the second assignment in the abstract class. Oh, and I just signed up to sell art at a one-day auction at the end of July, for which I have to come up with five original works that aren't in response to a class or demo or reference. Also in July I am taking a class at Otis Art Institute (still virtually, unfortunately). So I guess I'm going to be posting a lot!

Here is Day 5 of direct watercolor painting—my favorite acrylic inks, in three of my favorite colors. And no, I never have figured out why the initials of the company are D-R but the initials on the bottles are F-W.
