#DoodlewashMarch2021 prompts: Potatoes. Did you know that potato blossoms used to be fashionable? Marie Antoinette made them all the rage when she wore one in her hair. Out of all the brush shapes, I find the rigger the hardest to use. I decided that I’d use one to try and get all those potato field perspective lines lined up. Phew! Only took…[Read more]

Out of all the brush shapes, I find the rigger the hardest to use. I decided that I\'d use one to try and get all those potato field perspective lines lined up. Phew! Only took about 5 times longer than it needed to, lol. I also remembered why I don\'t do perspective too often. It\'s kind of boring. I made some compositional choices that I\'m not over pleased with. One of those case where I fell in love with details but they don\'t really help the overall painting.

This is a beautiful painting, Sandra!!!
-
Thank you so much, Mary!
-

Sandra, this is gorgeous and you give us such good information. Most, pretty much all, of my paintings are done with just one brush, a #4 round with a veth pointy tip. Inalso tend to get lost in the details.
-
Thank you, Brenda! I tend to do most of my painting with rounds, and though I use different sizes, usually I use one size per painting. I’ve been trying to stop that. You can do some interesting things with the different shapes if you practice with them enough. I was pushing with the rigger. They’re really only meant for long thin lines, like…[Read more]

Thanks for the information. I have a rigger but really haven’t used it.

Thank you, Priscilla!

Beautiful view over the green trees and the violet potato field and the variety of colour nuances.
Good job Sandra!-
Thank you so much, Fatima!

Wonderful! What a scenery! Love the light int this one, the sun catching those red houses.
-
Thank you so much, Migtari!
-
-
Whoa that’s one gorgeous scene!
-
Thank you so much, Zertab!

Fantastic painting, Sandra. I nearly always use a round brush even though I have a flat,a rigger and a sword which I think I’ve used a couple of times.
-
Thanks a million, Gary! I find myself using a round most of the time, but it’s a self-imposed limitation. There are definitely times that another type would make things easier.
-
-
Awesomely gorgeous!
-
Thanks a million, Susan!
-
-
Wow, stunning.
-
A thousand thanks, Victoria!

This is absolutely gorgeous Sandra!!

Sandra this is absolutely gorgeous!
-
Thank you so much, Brenda!

So many muscles in such a small animal, explains how caterpillars are so flexible in virtually every direction!
-
Isn’t it incredible? I think humans only have about 600 muscles!
-
-
Amazing, Sandra!!!

Thank you, Mary!

Awesome!

I don’t paint plein air (from life) too often. I know I should because you get a better sense of perspective. I decided to paint the view from my living room window. I’ll admit that I had a photo I’d taken earlier on my laptop, taken with a Zoom lens, so I could verify detail, but I tried not to reference it unless I was getting lost. Next…[Read more]

Beautiful painting, Sandra. You have an amazing view from your window. Do you mind me asking what state you live in?
-
Thank you, Gary! I live in Oregon.
-
It lloks like a vert green state. I see lots of national forests on Google earth. I can see why you were so concerned about the fires.
-
Yes. Oregon is careful to protect its forests. We haven’t allowed as much building or huge recreational sites like most states have. 2/3 of the state is semi-arid, but the forested areas get lots (LOTS) of rainfall. Fires didn’t use to be a big problem. Between climate change and increasing population though, it’s getting drier every year.

Fantastic view Sandra, you make beautiful things!
-
Thank you so much, Fatima!

This is so gorgeous!!!

Thank you so much, Priscilla!

Your view is gorgeous as well as your painting.
-
Thank you, Brenda! It is wonderful to sit and look out on, especially when the birds are active!
-
I wish birds were active in my yard. But we do get dragonflies occasionally
-
We get those too! We used to get lots of nutria, but they were all removed. I know they’re considered pests, but I enjoyed their visits.

Lovely, Sandra!
-
Thank you, Mary!
-
-
Wow! That’s beautiful and inspiring! I think I will wait until my pear tree starts blooming and then try the view from my window!
-
Thank you, Jessica! I can’t wait to see your view!
