Ducks, Water, and Pixels

I've been working sporadically on this these past few days. But I've been experimenting with other painting styles and techniques, so I swear I haven't been just goofing off!



I wanted to try some other techniques and tutorials, and obviously wouldn't be able to do them on a piece that's already in progress! I'm so impatient sometimes.

I found it very interesting that I paint very differently digitally than when I'm painting traditionally (whether oils or acrylics). But on some levels, I really feel like I'm taking to it like a duck to water. Okay, I may not be swimming pretty like a water ballerina, but at least I'm dog paddling! I've always struggled with painting, it doesn't come as easily to me as drawing does. So I'm quite (pleasantly!) surprised by my initial forays into digital painting.

Sadly, I've been kinda neglecting my sketchbook lately. I guess I really need to work on that. And maybe a few things for the upcoming 9X12 Show.

My computer is a wicked, wanton strumpet. Or maybe I am.
