I had a fantastic time at Bloomin Artists this weekend, it is amazing how well organized and fantastic this is run. I thought I would have a hard time painting this weekend because you are on location and they were looking for 2 to 3 quick pieces per day from each artist. I normally paint very realistically, I knew that would not work for this event. I decided to use ink and watercolor for most of the pieces, allowing me to work quickly. Unfortunately I was so busy I forgot to take pictures of some of my completed works, but here are the ones I managed to get. With the ones I brought in ahead of time I submitted a total of 12 pieces, luckily all 12 were sold in the auction.
Sold twelve? Thats quite fabulous!
Congratulations!!! These are wonderful paintings! Painting outdoors is an experience in itself!
Yes Ron it was quite fabulous because it is not my usual artwork, I have a very hard time doing the quick and loose sketch/painting.
Thanks Sandeep, I guess it is an experience, but I had a wonderful time and looking forward to doing it again (going outside more to practise) lol
Your work is fantastic Krista. These pieces are great. You must have enjoyed being more free during this event with the painting. I love the Lutz building piece. 🙂
Thanks Sheri, I did enjoy it, it was a great experience trying to paint quickly and loose.
Congratulations Krista on having all the work sell! It is exciting and daunting to work outdoors. One can only hope for cooperative weather. When I go out it has to be in shade. Otherwise I come home bright red! I am a sunburn queen.
Thank you Davida, it was certainly a challenge to work outdoors, it is very different when you usually work inside a studio, I am hoping to get out more often.
