ACEO SFA OCTOPUS - unusual technique - watercolor & ink

Well... this one was FUN!!!!
I've used the technique before, about 8 or 9 years ago, on a larger work. I've been going to do it on ACEOs but haven't seemed to get around to it. I was recently reminded of it in a current magazine, so decided to do one, and 'hit' on the idea of doing an octopus.

The auction is 3 days only.

MUST see to appreciate.
The listing had WIP photos of the process.
This shimmers with iridescent colors!

watercolor + ink
ACEO - 2.5 x 3.5" on watercolor paper.

"Deep Sea-cur"

A wildlife painting

This acrylic painting, was created from a photograph I managed to grab as three mallards came in to land at the Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve, where I had spent a very cold day photographing the wildlife.

Sunfish



Oil pastels on canvas paper, 6" x 8".

This one was done by interpreting a step by step acrylic painting in How to Paint Wildlife Portraits in Oil Pastels, Oils and Acrylics by H. P. McLaughlin. I did it as an illustration for my book review of that title, Walter Foster volume #173, on www.explore-oil-pastels-with-robert-sloan.com and might part with it if someone makes an offer. It would be a bargain because I haven't used my artist grade pastels on this one and it's not on all-rag paper or something museum-archival.

I never go over $25 for anything done with student grade supplies, so keep that in mind if you make an offer. Or I could redo it on good Fredrix canvas with artist grade pastels, which might be something I'll do anyway. The background is entirely original from imagination, I didn't like the background McLaughlin used with it -- it seemed a little strained trying to jam in the stones and twigs on the bottom behind the fish. So I drew a bigger log and added a few stones in a way I thought balanced better.

It's interesting, most times people think of doing fish on a blue background. That is accurate enough for sea life, but when you get into freshwater lakes and streams it's more usually green or brown depending on whether silt or algae is what's coloring the water. I know I'm going to explore a few more fish paintings and this is just a start.

I have been doing a lot of small format art lately and should post here more often.

"Cupcake" Little girl in bath.

This original of this image is up on eBay for sale. I have put it on Cafe Press as products, and used it as a guide to make a graphic avatar.

A fun one to do. Not realistic of course, but cute never-the-less.




Just a very simple watercolor and ink ACEO (2.5x3.5")

Just listed.

"CupCake"

A whimsical artwork, watercolor & ink that I did a while back. I've used it as the basis for a tiny graphic available on networking sites, and also on Cafe Press where I've put it onto bibs, onesies, together with the lettering. A fun work. I thought it was cute. Hope you do, too.
