Artshow Postcard Sample Watercolors

So I figured in an effort to actually make more money at this art business it would be helpful to have lower ticket items anyone could buy like a small watercolor postcard.

A lot of time actually goes into creating these little pieces so maybe prints would still be a more affordable option just like with the larger oils to make a more attractive price point while at the same time making sure people who want my art can have it no matter their financial situation.

Below are three very different subjects just to see how I like these little watercolors, and I really enjoyed making these so more to come 🙂

Underpainting? Do You? Work in Progress

So this is the beginning of an oil painting composed with one of the beautiful adobe homes here in New Mexico. I am curious if any artist out there still use the underpainting at all and what benefit is gained from it?

I enjoy using one as staring at a plain canvas can be intimidating. It seems to help me get in the art making mood to loosen up playing with limited colors and brushes in the very beginning of a piece. Anyway I will update  as the work progresses.

Thanks for looking,

Here is an updated photo of the work completed so far.

So here is another update I am nearly done this one needs to dry for a while so I can add finishing details like the door jambs, the zia symbol, and clean up the windows straight lines. For that though I need to put my hands on it as I am too shaky to do it just freehand like a pinstriper.
