Finished Pieces 8/7/2009

It feels good to move on.  I completed some details on these last night. I look forward to some blank paper.

Jack-o-Lantern

He isn’t so bad but I need to work on candles & flames.  This picture is a bit brighter than the original watercolor. My scanner makes everything very faint and I’m not sure if I have the knack for the adjustments. In any case this scan looks better than the original. I wonder how often that is true in the real world?

I really like the guy on the right. The hill was awful until I stamped the darker green over it to give it a texture. I forget you can do stuff like that sometimes. In retrospect I wish I have put a moon in the sky. I also need to work on my light-sources as I’m being sloppy paying attention to that stuff.

This piece is love-hate for me. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I hate it. It would have been better if I used real ones instead of the photo I took.  It has an interesting graphic appeal though.

Feel free to comment. I’m off to work on the next set.  If you are wondering why I turn out a few at a time – since I like to layer my watercolors one over the other, I can keep working by switching to another project while one dries.
