Last one of Season 3! I enjoyed this one a lot.

Blah. I went a bit heavy-handed on this one too.

I wasn’t sure if I would’ve liked this one, but I actually enjoyed doing this old mill painting.

I fell back into my old habits with this painting.

Wow, 30 Days, 3o paintings!

Sorry, I absolutely loathe painting winter scenes.

For this one, I followed Bob’s instructions closely. I decided to use the natural bristle brushes and used less water with my paints in order to get more texture.

On to season 3! This was a challenging start to season 3 because this one had so many little elements all throughout the scene.

The last one of season 2! For this one, I swapped out some nylon brushes with natural bristle brushes to help me get better texture for the little bushes in the front.

Alrighty, I went for a full reset with this and truly stayed in line with Bob’s speed.

I made the mistake this time on blocking out the entire scene instead of just lightly outlining where things go…it messed up my usual progression.

I had a real hard time with this one.

Looks like a postcard scene!

I put a little bit more trust in myself with this one and let my artist eye lead the way.

I’m starting to get a better grasp at foreground/background work.

2 in one day?! I feel so addicted to these little paintings now!

After last episode’s painting I realized I really need to focus on not spending TOO much time on the blended background.

The challenge with this one: INTENTION. I realized that since the acrylics are a different medium than the oil paints, I had to seriously back away from doing the step-by-step.

Moving along to the ‘black canvas’ edition. Bob is working with black as his background so I had to make a first wash with black, crimson, and yellow gradient as my first layer on the canvas with acrylics and then work from there.
