10 of 30 Tulip Shell


Brown is Beautiful (Tulip)
5" X 7"
Watercolor
$85

For Day 10 of the thirty paintings in thirty days challenge, I decided to do something a bit different as far as the blogpost goes. I took progress photos as I went along and put them into a "video." (Really, just a slideshow/digital flipbook). Here is also a collage of the progress photos individually.

Note to self: Do not wear a hot pink shirt if you plan to take progress photos while you paint. :(



The shell I painted from doesn't actually have all the colors that I painted (at least to my eye), but it did have a warm glow that I wanted to capture. Plus, it is fun to paint neutrals without using neutral paints. (Thanks Jane Angelhart for teaching me how to do that!)

I love your technique. Your colors are vibrant even if they are neutrals.
