Red Sails in the Sunset

This painting is so relaxing to look at even digitally.  It makes me think of this Red Sails in the Sunset...

Red Sails In The Sunset

Bing Crosby

Lyrics

Was down where fisher folk gathered
I wandered far from the throng
I heard a fisher girl singin'
And this refrain was her song

Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
He sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you

Swift wings you must borrow, make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me

Swift wings you must borrow, make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me

Hello all:  I look through Amazon like it is a reading catalog.  I search different strings to see what I can interesting.  I found this the other day and purchased it and some cultural markers from Crayola.

Scrapping - using scraps for warm-up

Hi all:

 #15 - scrap art challenge I use scrap watercolor or canvas gesso paper to warm-up most days.   I chose a selection of store bought tools markers and paints and sketch a few of my own shapes.  Scraps are a versatile way to add quick backgrounds or elements to any surface and keep playing wit your art fed. 

The Lady needs work

I completed this lady a year ago and now I think she needs work.  This can happen to you too ...it is not always finish when you think it is finish.  I would change her nose, mouth and skin tone.

My little people make me laugh

I get a charge out of drawing my little people.  The are fun and easy.  It is a good journal warm-up to a session of letting my art take me on a journey.  Those little guys make me smile. 

Bigg legs and too short dress

One never knows what will come out their paint and brushes.  I call her big legs and blue shoes. I like her too short dress!

stencils and painting

Gather your supplies. I picked out several stencils to choose from to start this warm-up.  I always warm-up using my art journal or scraps watercolor paper sketching paper.  I like to see what falls out my tools.  I use craft acrylic paints, my art journal, watercolor paper, sponges and/or  a brayer... A geli plate is also handy.  Check out this work!   I call her Ebony mama

By the way I 

I Am in love Crayola cultural markers.  These markers really added a power punch to your work.

    I tried to use only water color in this seascape / landscape canvas, but over thinking took over and I added acrylic white to the sky.  I added paint marker to the boat.  I practice color mixing to make the color brown in the land portions
