Yes, another watercolor face today. I had to do one more, because yesterday’s was so enjoyable for me to paint. I was definitely much more relaxed while painting this one. She marks the half way point in Thirty Paintings in 30 Days and my ninth face for 29 Faces in September 2014. Another Face by […]
Today’s painting found me playing with watercolors again. I think I’m actually getting more comfortable with letting the paint drip and run and blend and do it’s own thing, very difficult for a stay within the lines type like me. A Face by Tori Beveridge I would like to do a few more similar, so […]
I think I spent more time trying to fix scans and photos of this than it actually took to paint. I finally decided on this scan and it still doesn’t do it justice. It’s much prettier up close and personal. Let Your Art Blossom by Tori Beveridge Mixed media on 4×6 140lb cold press watercolor […]
I kept it simple today, with this postcard sized mixed media, watercolor, acrylic and ink portrait. Wonder by Tori Beveridge I stamped over the first coat, then used a brayer to cover the whole thing with white acrylic, then I went back in and repainted. The word, wonder, was then added and I detailed with […]
Today I am interviewing the ninth Enchanted Visions Artist. It is my pleasure to introduce Isabelle Dumont One of Isabelle Dumont’s pet rats. Who is, “Isabelle Dumont”? Tell us a little about yourself. This lovely year, I am turning 30, though I feel horribly old by now. I´m a very awkward person, really, and I […]
I have two very contrasting pieces of art for you today, a digital piece and a watercolor piece. Warrior Princess is a digital piece, done in Poser, Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. She is my sixth face for 29 Faces in September 2014 and is also my artwork for this month’s Enchanted Visions theme of […]
So far, so good! I’m ten for ten! I am, however, a little behind in my 29 Faces, so today’s painting, I knew had to be a face. I used another advertising magnet as my canvas. As before, I applied a layer of gesso first and then got out my acrylics and painted this cute […]
Another mixed media piece. It’s 9 x 12, and started with lots of collage, which I then painted over using watercolor, acrylic, FC Gel Sticks and ink. Bubble Dreamer Photo of Bubble Dreamer by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 9
After yesterday’s fumblings in watercolor, I went back into my comfort zone today with a mixed media piece. Found Heart by Tori Beveridge It started with doodling and finished with acrylic, watercolor pencils, Faber Castel Gel Sticks, rub ons, stamps and ink on 4×6 watercolor paper. Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 8
Day Seven completed. I felt awkward painting this. I guess that means I need more watercolor practice, Cosmos by Tori Beveridge Watercolor on 4×6 paper On to the next one! Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 7
Imagine Possibility Mixed Media using watercolor, watercolor pencils, acrylic and ink on 4×6 140 lb cold press watercolor paper. (the photograph doesn’t do it justice.. it’s so much prettier with so many more layers of color and shading than you can see here) Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 6
For this painting I decided to try simply putting some watercolors on to the paper and see what I saw in the dried paint, similar to the journal pages I showed you here: What The Paint Splatters Revealed To start, I wet the paper and added blue and a peachy red that I mixed. I […]
