#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.

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!

So many muscles in such a small animal, explains how caterpillars are so flexible in virtually every direction!

Great job Gary, he is so cute!

Thank you Brenda.

Lol! Gotta love it!
-
Thank you, Sandra. Do you see what I mean about the coloured pencil being trapped in the rough paper?
-
I do. It usually requires heavy burnishing to work the pigment into a rough paper. Even cold press can be too much for colored pencil with some brands. Hot press may be too smooth. You have to be like Goldilocks and find the paper that’s juuuuuust right, lol.
-
Thank you Sandra. I’ll try burnishing next time I use them.
-
-
-
-
It`s nice,you can try to use a blender pencil or layers of colour.
-
Thank you Fatima.

So funny! Reminds me of the Jungle Book.

Thank you Jessica, it is supposed to be Kaa.
