New Painting in Progress

For this new work in progress, I am using a different approach. I only roughly outlined the position of the woman on the canvas and then started painting without a sketch. It was fun to see how the face started taking shape.
This is a larger painting with more detail than usual and I'm not sure if I'll get it finished before I leave next week for Germany to visit my family. We'll see.

We've had the most wonderful rainy morning here and I spent it in my studio painting. The sound of the rain on the skylight was my music! 

I hope you are enjoying your Wednesday, rainy or not!


P.S. When I get back from Germany, I'm going to learn how to paint with oil paints. My friend Kelly (click here to see her art) inspired me to give it a try!

  2. Malen im Regen ist bestimmt sehr entspannend. Es strahlt sehr viel Harmonie aus.

Enjoy your trip and the opportunity to learn painting with oil. I have taken oil classes and did okay but it takes so long to dry but LoL what do I have to worry about time for. This is all for fun. Right sista. blessings
