Our SVS Virtual Studio July ⛵️

After two years of unsuccessfully trying to learn how to paint "artistic" watercolor paintings, I am admitting that I'm just a line and wash kind of person. This is a barn down the road from my house.
@Lee-White said on a podcast that he didn't understand why people always painted barns. I've realized that it's because if you live in a rural area, it's the only thing to paint besides trees and cows!

I came across this line of trees a few miles from my house and they had such character I had to paint them.

@kylebeaudette This makes me laugh. Seems like a satire on All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Salutations comrade peers. I am... fresh at this academy. Fear not my... helper slug. They are... ravenous. I mean, harmless.

@Braden-Hallett wonderful expressions

@Braden-Hallett nice!! Love the idea!
Hey team
Just practicing with the use of some shapes and the effect they might have when drawing a character!

Fake book cover. I'm thinking of doing a series of watercolour sketches that are fake children's book covers, selling them at my city's Artwalk or on Etsy
-
@demotlj I play geocaching and I instantly wondered - is there any box hidden in those trees?!
Great piece! They are like Ents! -
@Oana They’d be a great place to hide something though my sister said she wouldn’t want to walk alone down that road

Hey Everyone,
I have a portfolio review at the SCBWI virtual conference at the end of this month. I did this piece as a watercolour and as a vector illustration some years ago. I've always loved it. Today, I took the watercolour scan into procreate and worked on it a bit. Do you think it's a strong piece for my portfolio? I just listened to the class on 100 pieces to have in your portfolio, and I thought this might work for things of different scales. I also plan to add text in there.
Art is hard.

My first rough draft/sketch of Alberts house. I'm actually using my Colin bear character to make a house design, since I didn't participate in last month's challenge. I had the idea to show him several times around the house doing what he does, similar to the old family circus comic, like a day in the life of Colin type thing. Not sure if that will be confusing tho. Don't want it to look like the house is overrun by bear cubs
