Lighter - oil paint

A lot of my drawings and paintings look quite good from a distance but a bit messy close up. I think this is one of them, although I quite like it.
When I looked at this the next day I realised I forgot to paint the sparking mechanism... not sure how I missed that.

cake - oil paints
second attempt at oil paints... difficult but this one is a bit better.
also... you should know, I only have 6 colours and none of them are black, so there is some epic colour mixing going on here.

Watercolour. My watercolours are a mess, I need to figure out how to do them properly. Google will show me the path!

Watercolour. I'm calling this a sketch.

Brush and designers gouache.
I had to catch up over the last couple of days and that was difficult. I can feel myself running out of ideas... but I can also see a little improvement in what I'm doing (I hope) which is rewarding. I've enjoyed trying out some new techniques, like brush & ink, and gouache paints (like this little lego man here). Also, I've found that, for me, black and white stuff is a lot easier - seeing colours properly is hard, I don't know how you real artists do it! Onwards!

Gummy bear - gouache on cartridge paper.

Trying to improve on day 27's disappointing effort. A tonal study painted using gouache - an opaque type of watercolour. It's my first time using them - tricky!

Not too happy with how this turned out (so i reduced the image size :) Trying a new technique that I'm finding difficult. Watercolour.

Lego minifig, watercolour.

Hit the watercolours again,and I'm still finding them rather difficult.  I think a lot of my pictures look ok through half closed, scrunched up eyes. That's how I prefer to look at them.

Day 6 and it's my first colour picture of the 100. I've never managed to get the hang of painting but I would like to, so today I tried painting a watercolour picture of a buoy in the sea around Florida. Comparing this to the photo I used as source it is a bit off, layout wise. Also the waves seem a little scribbled - just not very realistic in general. Oh well, the aim here is improvement so I have to start somewhere! I think the scanner is not capturing the colours very well because I'm sure the water was a bit darker.
