Painting inside the lines



Is apparently not my forte. 

I haven't painted anything in a very long time - it's not exactly my favorite medium. When I do paint, I don't usually use an outline or lines as a guideline, but I thought I'd try it out. The result was that my painting not only took a ton of corrections with marker and paint, but ended up looking like a scene from a coloring book. 

I have never had much patience when it comes to drawing or painting. I like to spend a max of an hour or two on something, and then move on. This painting took me a couple of hours over a span of a few days, just because of the wait between paint drying to fix whatever mistakes I made.

Although this picture doesn't do it much justice, I'm pretty happy with it. I hope to make more time in the future to do painting more often and get better at it. :)

  2. I'm a regular ol' pen and paper and ink type of girl. Lots of obsessive sketching in pen, or filling in lines with color.

    As far as painting goes, I'd much rather paint freely and abstractly without any enclosing lines, but it's still not my favorite type of art...mostly because I'm impatient to wait for it to dry. Bleh!
