Sneak Peek Friday

This week in the studio, I wanted to try a watercolor painting on watercolor board.  I used one of the reference photos I took at the beach this summer.

Surfer Chicks 8 x 10 watercolor on watercolor board

When these girls walked by me, I thought "Wow, these girls must be beach volleyball players.  They're so tall and  muscular."   I liked the way it turned out and the board stayed rigid unlike some of the other illustration paper, which has a tendency to bow. 

Nutcracker trio 4" x 12", acrylic on canvas

Also, finished is my little group of nutcrackers.  Although cute, they're not the image I set out to do in my mind's eye, so I'm going to "shelf" :) the idea for now. 

Anyway, if your wanting to participate to Sneak Peek Friday, just visit Jennifer at  "In the Studio"  and give it a try.
