Eclectic Studio - Tammy Morrison-Koenig

Well as a mom of 4 kids I often get inspired by watching them at their easle's. Well today we decided to give the old fingers a go round and see what we can come up with. I actually like alot of what is going on in this piece. The movement in the back water gives the illusion of other fish or seaweed moving around - I dont think this could have been created with a brush. Not the best "painting" but definatly a good basis for another one like it.

You learn from experience- What started out to be a drawing exercise... escalated! A Small 7*9 watercolor - 15 min free hand sketch. Trying to better my perspective drawing, as I am No Landscape painter! This was done with a very limited pallet, consisting of UMB, BS, Cobalt, Yellow Ochre and a touch of rose madder and of course the mud left over on my palette from other paintings ;) Few things I learned, PLAN, PLAN, PLAN This is a very flat toned busy painting. I lost alot of my highlights because the man in front was kind of a last min addition and the tall lady on the stoop was scrubbed back, If you look closely you can see where her head once was. The painting is missing its "sunshine" Warm tones, they seem to have got lost amongst all the greys. Still overall I am still pretty happy with it- matting and framing really do make the difference!
