Stand

#16 Stand Inktober52

Tombow, Copic, Aqua Pen Graphix, Deleter NEOPIKO-Color pens, Stoneground Watercolor paint, and Graphix Aqua Ink in Sunshine Yellow, Pyrrole Red, and Quinacridone Gold.

I am catching-up to the weekly word prompts for Inktober52. I chose a Lemonade Stand. When growing up in coastal New England, my neighbor, Marcia and I would host a lemonade stand occasionally.

Our daughters hosted a couple of lemonade stands. Only 14 states allow impromptu lemonade stands. I have only lived in states where it is permissible. It is a great way for kids to start to learn about business.

Let’s see if you can see the difference. When I tried to lift some dirt in the paint, also lifted the paint. I had to redo the sky, but it gave me an opportunity touch up the painting. This our flowering cherry tree in our front yard.

Waiting on the Sun

This was the final day Acrylic University 5 Day Kick Starter Mini Paintings. This one was from a photo taken by Jed of the sunrise. It was tricky painting the people. I had to go back and forth between the light and the dark colors.

Day 4 of the 5 Day Mini Paint Challenge. I missed Day 3, as I had several appointments yesterday. What I enjoy about this painting is the contrast of the light and the shadows.
