Painting

I bought a few prints at the swap meet by Mindy Lacefield. I think I was first attracted by the color (plus the $1 price tag). I liked the prints because they're done kinda care-freely. 

This girl doesn't even have arms. And look at her legs. What kind of legs are those, anyway? But it's okay, yah. The artist just had fun.


And it's okay to have a colorful face on a big head. And a blue-dotted red wing.


Here's a tutorial by Mindy that I've been watching. She makes it look so easy . . . putting blobs together. I like the translucent nature of watercolor.


And so, I wanna try painting. I've been gathering a few supplies. 

Thanks to friend Fay I was able to find watercolor paints for cheap at Ross. They were $6.00. Friend Linda told me that I could find the watercolor pad at Walmart. It was $6.80, cheapest price compared to elsewhere, including Amazon. 

I didn't like Walmart's brushes, so I went to Hawaiian Graphics on Beretania. Holy Cow! So expensive! I checked out Ben Franklin. They had a not-bad selection of brushes, but somehow they were not what I wanted. 

My last hope was Fisher Hawaii. I went to the Mapunapuna branch. After looking and looking and looking I finally picked a 3-brush pack. It was around $14. But it's Made in China. Oh well.


Sorry, I no more any "artwork" to share yet. Still just watching YouTube tutorials.  Stay tuned . . .  but it might take me awhile . . . and no expect too much . . .
