watercolor figures

 So, someone recently asked what do artists do when they feel in a slump.  I go to a different medium that challenges me but also one where I don't have great expectations.  That way I'm learning without feeling pressured.  So, did these watercolor figures in my life drawing group.

From 60 degrees to snowing today...thought this was a hopeful choice for my oil demo this morning.  9 x 12 "Searching"

playing around with watercolors

 Played with watercolors in my figure drawing group today.  So hard!

paint sketches

 Great time in figure group this morning...my favorite model. These are 5 minute sketches..oil on paper...except the sitting down was 25 minutes.  With that one, I didn't quite capture the gesture

Plein Air Convention Tucson

I will be one of the faculty of the Plein Air Convention in Tucson, Arizona in April.  Hope some of you are there!

ALSO!  Think about joining me to paint on the beautiful island of Korcula in Croatia Oct 7 to 16, 2017!   More information at http://www.slikamilina.ca

It says pastel but oils would be fine as well!

I haven't done many pastels recently so got back into it.
