More challenges

I decided on a whim (as in AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROJECT) that I want to do the Summer of Color challenge.  Yeah, I know.  I haven't finished a single challenge I've started ALL YEAR.

This one, though, speaks to my inner Delirium.

Delirium from Sandman: Endless Nights
COLOR.  I love color.  And insanity.  But mostly COLOR.  So this one should be easy-peasy, right?  Well, we'll see.

I did a tutorial on making a book-canvas on wonderstrange along with a video demo for this painting if you want to head over there and check it out!


The color challenge this week is turquoise, yellow, and a splash of pink.  It's pretty yum.


In other news, I'm still in a weird sort of rut with my paintings and frustration with not being able to take them where I want them to go, but I keep plugging along.  Also, it's show season, which means sculpture, which means less painting, which means an endless ugly cycle of frustration.  Argh.

Deep breaths! Onward!!

  2. Ha! More Summer of Color. I don't think you have to finish all the thing. But maybe it will inspire a thing or two you would not have done. Then it's an excellent thing! I have considered it, having seen it on lots of PPF people blogs. But maybe not. :)

    Looks like the Delirium is by Bill Sienkiewicz (you should say!). Gorgeous painting.

    The book canvas is totally adorable and fun. Terrific job with the colors!

    1. I figure something only color-related will be the easiest thing for me to finish. I think. Maybe.

      I wasn't trying to claim Delirium was mine - it's a scan straight out of the comic I sourced.
