Illustration Friday and Paint Party Friday Challenges



Thank Goodness it is Friday,

This one is going to be a new venture. This sketch is my first participation in the Illustration Friday Challenge. The background was sealed first as to prevent the watercolors from seeping through the page. Then I washed over with a light blue, the next layer was with a mask laid over the dry paint and a darker color of blue, then I continued to go over the bottom until it was darker for the road I wanted. The Challenge was the word "Tension". As we all know our economy isn't the best, weather causes food to go up, gas is ridiculous and wages aren't rising at the same pace. If this doesn't cause tension you are a stronger person than I am. will leave a link, so you can check out the other participants work. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Well I guess I should have checked out the information , I did not know you could not post the previous weeks topic on Friday. Jokes on me. I will still use this for Paint Party Friday.

  1. I misunderstood that about Illustration Friday myself. A lot of the people who post works there are wicked fast! Definitely a lot of tension in what you've envisioned...

  8. Tension and stress are so prevalent in our society. I think you hit the nail on the head with the car. Just driving around in traffic is stressful. Great take on the subject. Happy PPF!
