My Toaster Oven: 8x10 Watercolor on Hot Press Paper 140#
This is my first time using hot press paper, and I love it. The liner work went so well, the pen glides so smooth and easy. Glad I decided to try it. The actual appliance is much wider than this, but somehow this is how it came out, freehand. I usually work much tighter and trace my outlines from the reference photo, but I am trying to be looser and freer with my artwork. I still seem to need a photo, not much good at drawing from life yet.
This is my first post to PP&P so let me know if I do anything that is against the rules. I am in lots of facebook groups, challenges, blogs, etc, so it is easy to get them confused.
I am retired now and have lots of time to paint. I used to teach acrylic painting at Michael's for a couple of years, but now I just do all the challenges I can find online, and try to sell everything I paint, from ACEO's to 18x24 pet portraits and using Acrylics, Watercolor, Gouache and pen and ink. This is my "job" now so I make a real effort to be diligent about listing and networking online.
For 15+ years I have hosted and maintained websites for myself and others, and I still do some of that, but with my Facebook, Pinterest, Etsy, Ebay, Daily Paintworks, Twitter and blogging, I think my time is pretty much accounted for!
