25 watercolor portraits in 27 days

My personal challenge: 25 watercolor portraits in 27 days. Each month Wanda from the Northland Art League welcomes members to her studio for three hours to paint or draw a live model. I really need to improve my skills, so I am going to attempt to paint 25 portraits before next month's session. To start I will be following Jan Kunz's examples in the book Painting Watercolor Portraits that Glow.

Have I gotten better? At least I have an idea of how I want to paint. Don't think I am going to make the 25 in 27 days challenge.

The last day. My time is up. I didn't complete the 25 paintings in 27 days challenge that I set for myself. But I did learn a lot about how I want to paint.

The first painting of this lady was so bad I had to try it again. Better? Maybe

First Annual Plein Aire / Studio Event

The Northland Art League is having an annual art competition. Plein Aire paintings of the Shoal Creek Trail will be judged at the July meeting. I get the feeling that this event grew like Topsy. As it is now not only Plein Aire, but also Studio and photography. The trail is near my home so I have been there a couple of times.

It's a nice trail for walking my dog, but the truth is, I don't find it very interesting. Or pretty. Or inspiring. I am eager to see the results of this event.
