Oh she is adorable! Wonderful job, looks like a pro did it.

Thank you Teri! I am happy with her eyes and ears but otherwise…..

I can see the mischief in her eyes

Wish I could share exactly How mischievous! ; )

Oh, how adorable!

She is! Now if I could just learn how to paint her!

she is precious.

😊

You should be very pleased with this,you did a terrific job,so sweet.

Thank you Pamela. She loves to cuddle, but growls if I pick her up, even when she is asking to be picked up.

So cute

Thank you June, yes, she is a cutie-pie.

Wow, you did a fabulous job! Wonderful!

Thank you Amy. Will try another one soon.

Her eyes sparkle! Nice job, painting your sweet little dog!

Thank you Kathy. Yup, that’s her personality also.

Our dog before Popcorn was a black and white shitzu/maltese. He had a black mask so you could barely see his eyes so we named him “Bandit.” Sandra Strait painted his portrait years ago for me and did a wonderful job. I think you gave your dog a nice ,newly groomed look. I know I would love to meet him.

Thank you Pamitha. Yes, she is a cutie.

Really nice painting. It is indeed an interesting and amazing place.

yes sir.. The caves, known as Pandav Caves also known as Trirashmi Buddhist Caves were carved out from the 1st century BCE until the 3rd century CE

Sanjay, your work is so beautiful and personal. You merge your colors so well as to give life to the story you tell of these historic cultural sites. Well done!

thank you so much Kathy

Shells – A bit late, but the technique took even more time than I expected. I was splattering masking fluid in between washes of Quin Gold, Burnt Sienna and Phthalo Blue, and had to wait for things to dry between each step. Da Vinci Violet, Ultramarine Blue, and the colors mentioned above. She Sells Seashells-DV Watercolor on Hahnemühle Wiliam Turner

Wow..beautiful shells…Thanks for sharing the technique, Sandra !

Thank you, Anita!

Sandra, the shells really look like they’re on the bottom of the sea! Is the sandy texture from the paper surface that you used?
-
Thank you, Kathy! Yes, the William Turner paper has great texture. I also used Lunar Blue (which I forgot when I listed the colors) and it is highly granulating.

Wow!! Really awesome!! Beautifully done!! 😍

Thank you, Charlie.

I skipped the butterflies and went straight to the wild animals. There are four species of giraffe, the Northern, the Southern, the Masai and the Reticulated. Giraffes give birth standing up, so poor baby can have up to a five-foot fall when they are born! Baby Giraffe-Zensations Zebra Pen & Watercolor on Hahnemühle Cezanne 140 HP

That is one awesome giraffe.
-
Thank you, Mary!
-
-
Great painting Sandra! Which of the species is yours?
-
Thank you, Julia! It wasn’t identified, but probably a Reticulated.
-
-
Thank you, Susan! Now that they can do DNA testing, it takes a lot of the guesswork out of identifying the species and sub-species. I was kind of unhappy that the Rothschild giraffe is now considered part of the Nubians. Sort of like when they decided that Pluto is no longer a planet, and that the Brontosaurus was an Apatosaurus (although, I…[Read more]

I love all giraffes and yours is very well done. I love his expression.
-
Thank you, Sharon! I was very proud of myself with this one because I kept it loose and didn’t fuss! The Hahnemuhle Cezanne Hotpress helped with that, I think.
-
I have a pack of their hot press but haven’t tried it. In what way did the paper make it easier to stay loose?
-
You get such a nice even flow. I think my Aquanaut brushes helped, too. I like the way they release the paint, especially on the Cezanne HP. I felt I was getting the values I wanted right off with having to glaze or remove as much to get there.
-
-

-
What a beautiful rendering of a beautiful animal.
-
Thank you, Joan!
-

I love your 20 minute sketch of the giraffe. It’s just perfect!

Thank you, Kathy!

This is absolutely charming. Your animal paintings are delightful.

Sandra,the crystal is perfect,,such a beautiful painting..

Thank you, Pamela! It’s far easier than it looks.

I wish I knew the easier route ,it’s beautiful
-
Lots of masking fluid to start with, lol. It’s too bad you aren’t close enough to take Kathy Delumpa Allegri’s art classes. She makes it simple.

I wish I could,but I live 8 months in Maine and 4 in Florida,so I guess not…maybe I should take an art class vacation…😄

There are times when the site-feed is full, because lots of people are commenting or joining up, or whatever, and it can be difficult to find the new art that is posted or what you are looking for. It just dawned on me that some people may not know there is an easy short-cut to filter what you see. It can still be hard to find things like c…[Read more]

Pouring, as in wet-in-wet juicy brushes, misting, and drying. I’m finally getting the “flow” of it. “Bouncing” back from kind of a creative rut. Thank you, Sandra. 😀
