#DoodlewashJanuary2023 prompt: Feather.

Great job on the dog. Like the added ink.

Thank you, Angela! Line and wash is more my usual style, though I’ve been drifting away from it.
-
Love it, I do a bit of it myself although some people like to point out on my fb groups that adding ink makes it an illustration rather than a painting, I just laugh an figure I’ll continue to do me.
-
I’ll debate that description. My understanding is that the difference between art and illustration is in the intended usage, not the medium. An illustration is meant to illustrate something, whether for a story, a poster, or an ad. A painting done as fine art is done as the artists desires, with unlimited creativity, often dealing more with…[Read more]

Thank you, I totally agree. I started out as a graphite or pen and ink sketcher. I just started watercolor 4 months ago when I picked up art again after about 30 years of raising kids and working prevented it.

I agree. Tell them it’s called mixed media.

I tend to be detail oriented as well. I’ve drawn all my life, but really only started painting about 10 years ago, and still find doing something loose to be be the hardest thing. You’re off to a very good start. I’d recommend finding tutorials from an artist who has a style you like, and learning some of the techniques they use. It is…[Read more]

Thank you. I started following tutorials in Mar 22. This painting was done in 1986. On a whim, I decided to paint a Christmas card. I had no idea I could paint. I love it! And I want to paint loosely too. I love whimsical paintings. Happy New Year!
