Our SVS Virtual Studio MAY 2020 🌸
-
I’m having problems feeling inspired so I just painted a bluebird. (They are nesting in my yard right now.) Not very exciting but at least it was something. (I, too, have been using the 5 color watercolor palette from the SVS course that @Neha-Rawat mentioned and I really like the colors.)

@demotlj this is SO pretty! I love it

@demotlj I totally get not feeling inspired these days. It's been hard for me to create and not feel intimidated by all of the awesome artwork I see around. But I like the watercolor you did! It's quick, feels very loose (something I've always struggled with myself so I admire people who can do that), and is very sweet.
-
@demotlj That's a super cute bird!
-
May the fourth be with you my art friends.
-
@demotlj Very cute. I can feel the fluff!

@Coley @Neha-Rawat @lpetiti @Elisheba Thanks everyone for taking time to comment on my little bird. When I'm feeling uninspired, such support really helps!

Some WIPs
Water color experiment. I am trying @nadyart's process. I really struggle with this piece. But a lot of fun. I am still working on blending the sterm of the murshrooms into the ground.
This one is done in procreate. I got Kyle's brush into procreate. I am playing with the impressionists brush package from Kyle.

I’m trying out Lee’s -process that he outlined in his Thursday Jump video a few weeks ago. I’m sticking to a similar Color scheme because it’s already hard enough to figure out what I am doing lol. This is going to be Luna lovegood in the Forbidden forest with a baby thestral. Lots left to figure out. I had to put Luna in there as the unfinishedness of it all was a bit daunting. Background needs more cleaning up and the foliage needs some cleaning and detail. I’m not good at foliage or backgrounds but trying to figure it out. The light coming through the trees probably should be less angled like a cone and more rectangular. I’ll get there eventually
Hope everyone is well and safe.

I recently started an art group with a couple buddies from work, because I wanted a) more of an artist community outside of the digital world, and b) felt I could use some more accountability in productivity. We decided we'd all paint my friends dog, and though I'll be making that painting in oil, I wanted to do a smaller, quicker, more illustrative piece in ink, watercolor, and gouache. I've titled this "Bulldogs Suck at Poker."

I've been trying to push my environments a bit while trying to find more consistency. Hopefully it's kind of working? Practice during times like these is both relaxing and rough. lol

More Mermay stuff with some different approaches and ideas...
-
@ajillustrates Lol~~ omg I find it so hilarious and adorable that he's holding completely wrong cards! Hahaha, great image!
-
@jdubz I love the last one the best. Such great environment design! It's really believable that this place exists. If this was a cartoon, I'd totally watch it, haha.
-
@aprilshin Thank you! I think this image popped into my head when I thought of the classic "dogs playing poker" painting and it occurred to me, "Hey, dogs would be really terrible at this. I mean, they can't even read."
-
@xin-li I'm in love with your illustration style. It's so dreamy! The colours are so pretty!
Well done! -
I got a new iPad and am trying out Procreate. I really love it. It is far more intuitive than Photoshop so far. Here is a quick sketch I threw together in an hour or so...
-
@demotlj Eastern Bluebirds are nesting in my bird boxes now, too! I love to watch them and enjoyed seeing your watercolor painting

Wow I completely missed April Virtual Studio...but anyway, still working on these from Easter. I was rushed at the end because of greeting card deadlines, so I wasn't thrilled with the outcome but I'm glad that I learned so much working on these two. I'm trying to decide what direction to take with composition and mixed media for my future cards.
