Lindsay. Fed.

I'm married, and I have a most excellent dog, three cats, two fish, and a job in a library. I like to read, cook, and take pictures, and I'm trying to learn how to paint. I'm on Twitter and Instagram.

I actually find this reassuring somehow

Simple Sunday gouache painting 5x5 gouache based on this speed painting by Watercolor with David. What I learned: Using a chalk pencil on top of gouache to sketch is a terrible idea, as there's no good way to get it off. It should be fine on acryla gouache, but that's not what I was using. Also: the birds really are too big.

Winter landscape watercolor

I don’t need a big post every time, do I? That’s no fun. From a tutorial by Watercolor with David: I rather like this one. The original isn’t quite so light.

Finally playing with gouache. I think I’m in love! 😍

Finally, some proper November weather. It’s about time.

Did I hear the t-word? I haven’t eaten in weeks! #getsfedthreetimesaday #bottomlesspitforastomach

Sketched my first pine cone. It looks like a pine cone! It also took FOREVER. I almost don’t want to chance messing it up with paint.

It's November 1. Now what?

It’s November 1. Now what?

My intention was to take a few days off after arting for 31 days straight. That was until I saw this lovely watercolor workshop over on Skillshare (which is well worth the money if you ask me). It’s called Watercolor Sketching Your Life, and it’s 21 prompts (only one of which I get per day) for the first 21 days of November. The first one was self portrait. I’d only ever tried a self portrait (or…

Artober 31: Aaaaand DONE!

Artober 31: Aaaaand DONE!

Woah! I finished my painting and a whole month of arting! For me, that’s quite an accomplishment. I also really like this one. It took me longer than any of the others, but I’ve been working on it in 20-minute spurts. Painting is hard when you’re surrounded by puppies! Here’s the whole thing: My original plan was to take some time off, but it looks like that’s not going to happen. I’ll be…

Artober 30: So close!

Artober 30: So close!

I’m so extra going to finish this painting tomorrow. And ALL of Artober. I’m looking forward to both. Forcing myself to work on something every day makes sit less fun, though I’ve learned lots of new skills over the month. Here’s the whole thing. It’s still coming together nicely: There’s not much to report in Puppy News, but here’s a photo of our local branch manager and assistant branch manager…

Artober 29: A wee bit more adventure and some middle ground

Artober 29: A wee bit more adventure and some middle ground

It’s starting to come together! So far, I’m really liking this one. There is, of course, still time to ruin it. Here’s a link to the tutorial in case you want to follow along. I came home today after a grand (restful) adventure in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I still haven’t thoroughly gone through the photos on my good camera, but I’ll do that soon and post them. I’m sure they’ll be lovely, as it’s…
