30 Paintings in 30 Days

This month I am participating in an artistic challenge of painting 30 Paintings in 30 Days along with about 1,200 other painters. Today I just finished my 5th painting in 6 days (I missed day 2 but promise to make it up!)

Day 6

It is a fun challenge and I truly am learning a lot about time management, my art set up and ways to improve my painting skills.  A biggie for me is that I seem to have trouble getting the shadow side of the face dark enough.  You can read about her nose & lips being off centered here.

Day 5

Yesterdays was the hardest painting that I have done in awhile.  I called it "Channeling Vincent". He kept his colors so clean and pure.  Vibrant color.

Day 4 

Day 3

Day 1

I have been trying to keep the paintings within an hour time frame.  It's been both fun and a challenge! But Vincent took me two!!!
