I’m participating in the Doodlewash
July World Watercolor Month art challenge,
a watercolor painting a day for the whole month
Doodlewash provides a list of prompts to get inspiration from
or you can draw or paint whatever you like!
For yesterday’s prompt, “Reflection”
I painted a gold case lipstick from a photo I found on Unsplash
Art challenges are a great way to push yourself,
making drawing and painting a daily priority~
I began with a light pencil sketch
and added gray washes to the darkest areas
then gold washes with yellows and yellow ochre to get golden tones
Then I added black to the darkest areas
Red
Shadows
“Lipstick” 6″ x 5″ watercolor on 140 lb. cold pressed paper
I’ll let you in on a little secret,
there are bound to be days when you just can’t paint
so sometimes I do several paintings a day to keep up
I got a head start on July and painted the first 5 prompts
so I’d be able to post them on Instagram
over the busy holiday weekend
July 2 “momentum”
