NOVEMBER COMPETITION TOPIC: SLOW

[MissMarck]

To me, slow means a) taking my time with my watercolors and b) walking arm-in-arm through the snow. Also uploading on the last possible day!

@kathrynadebayo Your illustration makes me giggle. I love looking for all the animals. Their expressions are adorable.

[Sarah LuAnn]

This is still kind of a work in progress as I'm still looking to get and apply feedback for this piece ([https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/6723/feedback-for-thumbnail-sketches-for-howl-s-moving-castle-contest/9](link url)) BUT I thought I might as well post it here, as it definitely qualifies as my "Slowvember" project. And of course it is actually aimed at another competition altogether, but I'm not above double-dipping

"Ego Alley"
What a lovely place to sit and relax. Makes me want to sing a little Otis Redding!

Slow entry - Isle of Dog. Part of a series I'm slowly creating called See Creatures. About other-world creatures from myths and legends and their just as strange modern day counterparts.

I posted this too early the other day - should've been WIP. I wasn't being slow enough.

My oldest son just started to drive, so the first thing that popped in my head was how he would be at a stop light LOL

[Laurasketches]

And... I'm not sure this submission is right for this forum, but I DID go slow and work on this painting for the month.

Romeo & Juliet
Act III Scene V

@sarah-luann LOVE IT. What a unique idea, and definitely fits the topic.

[NelliA]

@sarah-luann Love this! I like the dark colors and the composition

[Jon Anderson]

Up high... down low... around the back... TOO SLOW!!!

[Whitney Simms]

@Laurasketches oh, I love a good watercolor. That’s beautiful. Soooo beautiful. And that moment, they surely wanted to last forever. For time to just slow down. Beautiful piece.

@Chip-Valecek I was wondering when grandma was coming! You have a driver, good luck man! Piece turned out nice!

@Jon-Anderson that pesky little dog. I bet he grabs shoes and toys and everything in his path. Looks great. Totally cracked up when I saw it. Great redunduring too!

[Sarah LuAnn]

@Johanna-Kim @NelliA thank you! I’ll be making a few tweaks to it before sending it in for the competition, but overall I am very pleased with how it has turned out. I’m glad you like it!

[Eli]

@laurasketches It's beautiful and I think it's great for this forum. Beautiful storytelling.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Hopefully this isn’t too late. It’s alright if it is though. I’m just really swarmed as of the moment. I hope you guys like it though. Thank you

[Eli]

@artbytra Love the retro vibe of this!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@kathrynadebayo i absolutely love you pencil shading on this one. Did you do this by hand? It’s amazing! I also love your concept. You could call it ‘Beadroom Zoo’ or something.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@laurasketches i love the level of watercolor skill on this one. This is watercolor i wished to achieve but never really fully realized. I also love the sunrise/sunset lighting. It highlights the ‘slow’ time of the day.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@jon-anderson haha this is so adorable. This reminds of the art style of the books I had as a kid. I hope your smowman finds his arm soon.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@sarah-luann i love your wood engraving-esqe looking on this piece. Plus the colors really emphasize the mood.
