More Lanterns

I had a lot of fun with the previous painting of Chinese Lanterns that I did.  I thought I would see if I could recreate what I did.

Again, like last time this was a quick painting, trying to let the paint do whatever it wanted to do on the paper, and as little as possible on the palette.

It had been a few days since I picked up the brush and I wanted to make sure I don't forget to do that.  So, today, like many days, I substituted lunch with painting.  This is what I came up with.  I like it, hope you do to. Thank you.

Chinese Lanterns

Thanks to our friends over at The Frugal Crafter, I've got another painting for you.

I dind't have a ton of time to do this, and having previously seen her video, I knew this one wouldn't take forever to do, so I gave it a shot.

Notice that this is a lot looser painting than most of mine.  It really does kind of feel good to let go and not worry about things for a bit.  I just figures, well, I'm not really expecting a whole lot, so I'll just throw the paint on and see what happens.  Well, much to my surprise, it turned out pretty good.  I even think I learned a few techniques that I'll be able to work into my every day paintings.

Well, Here it is, I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to Lindsey at The Frugal Crafter.
