Challenge Finale

"The Dogs of January"
30, or so, Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Well, I may not have finished 30 complete paintings (I think I did 27, not all of which made the final cut...) but I certainly learned a lot about watercolor and started a good painting (nearly) everyday routine.  I hope to continue painting nearly everyday, though I am anxious to start different subjects, and eventually get back to acrylic.

Here is what I worked on yesterday...


I can't wait to get back to working from life, maybe more portraits, and I'm really liking ink washes right now.  So stay tuned to see what's next...

  1. Wonderful work Cindy. I love the Beagle second from left on top row, but every one has personality.

  3. Cindy I am answering you here because I am never sure if people get my comments. I do some layering, and would like to do more. All depends on how much "tooth" the paper has and hard vs soft pastel.

    I just looked at every collage posted so far. Only about 4 men....

  8. Wow, I love all your dogs! You are so talented! 27 is close enough to 30 in my book. What an inspiration,
