day is done

for me, this is a lesson in blending. i followed a tutorial from that young lady in the UK named katie jobling. it is a simple painting, but the crux is painting the flying birds. the blending was not much of a problem for me and trees i always cheat by using foam. the flying birds were difficult because i don't know how to draw and with this you cannot make a mistake. what to do? it's my secret. 😜

i was going to post the colour version in my other album, however, i had some kind of idea (which is never good, mind) so i painted another one which is kind of whimsicat which you can see here. https://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2021-02-02

trust me, though, the blending of the sky here is much better than in the whimsicat version.

for the landscape theme of this week's flash of red. and my personal challenge of a painting a week.
Love this - dreamy and magical.

I love this, it’s wonderful on black. Silly me, I thought an artist drew on the canvas before they painted it. You said you can’t draw?!

Looks like you did very well! Not something just anyone can do.

your birds are A.MAZ.ING! So well done!

So lovely!

Very cool.

@louannwarren - some draw or sketch before they paint. but a true artist should be able to paint without a pre-sketch or from memory or a model.

Another stunner, those birds look so real and it sure pops on black!

Well done to get the resulting composition.

This looks so dramatic in black and white. I don't know how you did the birds, but the result is gorgeous. You rule!

You are so talented! Is there anything you can't do?
This works so well for the FoR landscape.

how lovely to see your artwork - and very well done it is too. Whatever your secret is, it works.

Nicely done (I have an idea of how the birds might have been done, but I shall keep it to myself in case I'm right. I don't want to spoil the mystery!).

A moody landscape. Just the right illustration for a mystery book cover.
