paint party Friday

Let's talk paint!

I'll show you what I painted this week, shall I? The first picture was in my mandala series. Circular, repetitive, meaningful.

I started with the pink/orange flower and like how the paint is lighter toward the centers.

I did another mandala here...

purple tombow marker, and black pigma pen.
Around and around, shapes and symbols.

I just wanted to see paint move around on paper, and it became this

It was much nicer before I started with pens... oy... not everything works out

One evening I decided to do a splatter work, intuitive, just pick colors you enjoy and splatter them.

then swipe yellow, pink, etc... ink with pigma and brush, dots and symbols and lines
I painted it this horizontal way, but like it better as a vertical piece

I painted as DH played his guitar, and noticed the shape on the left looks like a guitar! This one I like

Milo insisted on looking at it closer... said it's "okay but doesn't really smell like anything"
Then he looked at the other one

This one should smell but doesn't

Which I painted horizontally too, and show here vertical but not the best way to view it.

Swipes of color started it, then inks, lines, white and black pens... not my favorite but I like it okay.



I can't seem to capture things unless I'm looking at them, or a photo of them.


Still, there's just something soothing about putting color on paper, right?

What's your favorite watercolor paint to use?
