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.
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.
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.
Thanks Sheri, I did enjoy it, it was a great experience trying to paint quickly and loose.
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 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
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.
Congratulations!!! These are wonderful paintings! Painting outdoors is an experience in itself!
Sold twelve? Thats quite fabulous!
