2022-08-11 Doodlewash Prompt #11 Healthy. \"Mind-body-spirit means that our wellness comes not just from physical health, but from mental health and spiritual health as well.

Day 10 PICNIC 20220810_141758

A few of my graphite drawings from a while back, sadly my arthritis can\'t handle the detail I use to do any longer so I stick to painting now since it only takes a light sketch. bowl-still-life_origdadelephantsparta-barn

2022-08-10 Prompt #10 Picnic. Based on (attempt at) Kathy Nichols Youtube tutorial. #WorldWatercolorGroup #AquarelleCanadaWatercolour #doodlewashAugust2022 #outsiderartists #naivepainting #selftaughtartist #outsiderart 20220810_Picnic

2022-08-09 Instead of today’s prompt, I painted the saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) and Cape Bulrush (Typha capensis) inspired by Psalm 104:13-23. The saddle-billed stork is a large wading bird, a widespread species in sub-Saharan Africa but is considered endangered in South Africa. Cape Bulrush is an aquatic plant known from southern and eastern Africa as far north as Uganda. #WorldWatercolorGroup #AquarelleCanadaWatercolour #doodlewashAugust2022 #outsiderartists #naivepainting #selftaughtartist #outsiderart 20220809_Saddle-billed Stork_Cape Bulrush

These three are current paintings I\'ve done with watercolor alone and I\'m coming to the decision that I hate them...well, the word hate may be a bit strong but I really really don\'t like them...lol. I would love to be a watercolor pro but I don\'t see that happening when looking at these. 295063844_3321092141506562_7491809361281818322_ndockhouseslighthouse

Okay so these images are my artwork from several years ago, they are a mix of watercolor and pastels. I have just become aware that the art world believes pastels are used to cover mistakes in watercolor however I\'m here to say...I\'ve never used it for that purpose. I use pastels because I LOVE the look and vividness I get when I mix them. I can not acquire this look with watercolor alone nor pastels on their own. These seem very dark when uploaded for some reason. bull_1rusty-cans_1
