This Week PPF, Penny Paints a Toaster Oven, Shasta Camper, Pelican . . .

Paint Party Friday, a week of fun stuff

I did a challenge on PaintMyPhoto.ning.com, where you can get lots of FREE images to paint.  The challenge was to use one of their black and white photos and paint it in color.  Here's my entry for March.10x14 Watercolor & Gouache on 300 lb. paper.


and then . . .

I did the weekly DPW challenge painting as a  5x7 on hot press paper, watercolor and pen. The challenge was to look at a photograph for 60 seconds, then sketch and paint the scene from memory, no peeking. Auction on DPW
  

Also did a loose watercolor drawing of my toaster oven for the blog challenge at Paper, Paint, Pencils and Pen.  The theme is kitchens. 8 x 10 on hot press watercolor paper.  I have never used hot press before, and I love it, especially for liner work.
