Keep Moving Forward

Sometimes, like Alice does in Wonderland, ‘I give myself very good advice but I very seldom follow it.” So…. let’s just say for the past weeks, I’ve been telling myself I should be blogging, but I haven’t been listening to myself. After a very intensive stretch of working for Sympatico Studio (which I really did […]

New Art – The Beekeeper

Back in February, I did a sketch for 29 Faces.  Last week, when I had little bits of time, I finally painted it.  It’s called The Beekeeper. It’s worked in watercolor, acrylic, collage, and ink on 9 X 12 140 lb cold press water color paper.  The actual painting is much softer, more pastel, and […]

Day 16 – Two Peas in A Pod

Today, I have something totally different from the last two days to share with you.  My painting was inspired by an art swap that I’m taking part in, and the theme is Food With a Face. I painted two cute little peas in a pod for it.  Although personally, I think these peas are too […]

Day Fifteen – Another ‘Drippy’ Watercolor Face

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 […]

Day Fourteen is My Eighth Face

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 […]

Day 11 of Thirty in Thirty and a Sixth Face

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 […]

Day Seven – Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

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

Day 5 of 30 in 30 and My Third Face

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 […]

Day 2 of Thirty Paintings In 30 Days

A watercolor sunflower today. Next time I’ll have to remember to be a little lighter handed during the sketching.  The toughest thing for me is knowing how much water to use.  Sure is fun experimenting though. Day 2 Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

Watercolor Flowers

My first attempts at watercolor flowers, because, right this minute my garden is full of, among other things, sunflowers. I don’t think I’ll ever do them justice, but I’m willing to try. …and something more colorful… I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out and they’ve definitely inspired me to paint more.
