Daily Life, Jacqui Petersen
Something I try to do every day is paint or draw. Here is one of my watercolour palettes that I am using most often right now. Did 3 small sketch paintings today so its a good day.
That looks a nice little palette Jacqui, with the paint pans arranged around the mixing areas. Lovely little sketch - and yes, there's nothing like sketching every day, and nothing like PPP&P for keeping us at it every day. Thanks Lynn.
I miss some days too but I keep coming back to it. Yes I do have an empty well... good on you for picking that up. I was going to put Quin gold in there but the Gamboge I am using is very gold so felt like doubling up. Haven't decided what to put in there instead yet. I am always looking for new colours... lol
Bravo to you for our daily painting habit. I too am following suit. Working on an art journal of my son's life right now for a 50th birthday gift and am only at his middle school years! Oy vey, what have I taken on?
Thanks so much for dropping in and leaving your reactions to our art! We appreciate your comments! They are now being moderated however, to weed out spammers!
That's a good idea, to sketch everyday....love your palette :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ann. I try every day, sometimes I miss and I really notice it.

ReplyDeleteIt is a new palette and I am really liking it. Yes a good design. Thanks so much.
DeleteI'm trying to fit in a little art every day too, but still miss it many days. I see you have one empty well. Waiting for a new interesting color?

DeleteAhhhh... Thanks for this bit of pretty color. I'll take it with me to work today. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I too try to do a picture a day. I like what you chose to do Jacqui little sketch of color. You did the tool so well. The brush..
ReplyDeleteThank you it was in front of me so was an easy choice. :)
DeleteYes it is good to do even a small sketch daily. Love your sketch of paints.:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. Thank you
DeleteI think palettes are a big part of most of our daily lives. Nice sketch!
