Day 12 - Karter
Figure Painting 101
One of my goals during the challenge,
was to do figure painting.
I've never painted figures before.
I'm terrified of painting figures.
But today was THE day.
This shows toooo bright,
so
I tried again.
And this is toooo dark.
So it's somewhere in the middle.
My grandson Karter is a swimmer, among other things,
and going to swim meets is something I love to do,
but parking is always a nightmare,
and the chaos is almost unbelievable.
Fun, but crazy!
I took this photo last year when he was 8.
He is a great swimmer and swims on relays with much older boys and boys that swim year round.
Anyway,
tomorrow will be another figure painting.
I am totally exhausted from this,
and I need to go take a nap,
or eat a brownie,
or eat a brownie and then take a nap!
I like that idea.
Oh and by the way,
it's not for sale.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Meredith. 1 down, 9 to go. Hope they all turn out this good. I took a tip from the lady you interviewed! (Sorry can't remember her name at the moment. It's a drag getting old).

ReplyDeleteThanks Jacklyn. So appreciate you taking time to comment. I'm on a mission to learn to paint figures and portraits and none of them will be available.
