It’s the Experience, Right?

30 Paintings 30 Days, day 22

Technical info: Created on an iPad 2 using Procreate.

So far in this series of digital exploration, I’ve found myself most comfortable with using the pastel and charcoal tools. Tonight I decided to switch it up and try the paint tools.

Another learning curve…sigh… I can see the potential here, see glimmers of what I can do. But I’ve been playing around with this all night and this is as far as I’m taking this one for now.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another Women in Red. I’ll be using these ‘brushes’ again because I fully intend to figure them out.

Till then–

XOXO

They’re going gray. My ladies are going gray. Just. Like Me. And no, they’re not self-portraits.

They’re a statement.

I’ll be writing more about this later.

30 Paintings 30 Days, day 16.

It’s late. I’m tired. No words tonight, just a picture.

Did you ever think I’d be at a loss for words?

But just because I am doesn’t mean you have to be. In fact, I’d love to hear your take on this. What do you think the story is? Because every painting has a story. 

Looking forward to seeing what you have to say. I’ll be back tomorrow with some more Women in Red.

Halfway There, Almost

Yep, it’s been two weeks of daily digital painting. Two weeks. WOOT! The Women in Red are beginning to take on their own style. Here’s day 14 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.

There’s a story here, I’m sure of it. Hint: It’s not me riding Lana. As much as I would love to say it is, that’s not the energy I get from this image. What do you think it is? If you have a feeling, opinion or outright certainty, tell us about it in the comments below.

Technical info: Created entirely on an iPad 2 using the Procreate app.

If you would like to purchase a print of this image or any of the other Women in Red, click on the sidebar link and check out my Society 6 store. 

I think you need one as an early Valentine’s Day present for yourself. Yes, I do.

Be back tomorrow with another Women in Red.
