Night Bike ~ Different Ways

From The Different Ways Challenge, Daily Paintworks, on Saturday May 11, 2013

 

Night Bike

 

Challenge was to paint the same thing in two entirely different ways. Bike on left is water-soluble pencil on hot-pressed watercolor paper. Bike on right is Sharpie marker on 110 lb. smooth Bristol paper.

Blue Bowl and Pears

I was not happy with the still life I painted, so I scanned it, chopped it up virtually, and turned it into a collage.

"Pear Varieties of the Serengeti"

 

Dahlias and more

These are photos of some work I've done this year. All are watercolor. The third one has some digital collage features.
