Day 5- Nightmare Before Christmas- 30 Paintings in 3

5"x7" acrylic ink, colored pencil, gauche
5″x7″ acrylic ink, colored pencil, gouache

 

Today threw me a bit of a curve ball.  I had a few paintings that I had ready to go in for today and this was not one of them.  The pencil work for this was finished yesterday and for some reason while I was at work I kept thinking about finishing it when I got home.  And that’s what happened.  But, because of the the quick turnaround I couldn’t use oil paint because I wouldn’t be able to scan it with the wet paint.  So, I decided to use more ink washes which gives it a bit of a watercolor feel and then gouache to fill in the blacks with a nice solid pass.

I love the movie, Nightmare Before Christmas and have done and sold several pieces of art based on the film in the past.  In fact I’m working on a series of big paintings from the movie that I hope to get back to after this month.

This painting is available for sale for $50.00

Day 3- A Day at Disneyland-30 Paintings in 30 Days

Castle watercolor                    6″x6″ water color and acrylic ink on illustration board

  Today’s painting brings us to a spot by the moat of the castle at Disneyland.  There are a few statues that surround the moat and this is one of them.  I took this photo on one of my trips to DLand.  This was completed before I had fully decided to go with the acrylic ink/colored pencil/oil paint style that I did on the last 2 paintings.  I thought this one came out pretty good and when I showed people these 3 paintings everyone really liked the Fozzie Bear painting and not this one.  That made me think I should stick with that process and not this watercolor style.  The life of an artist haha.
