Day 4 #artAdventCalendar

A scallop shell I found on the beach. Mixed media, acrylic and watercolor.
A deeply grooved scallop shell. The top is browns and white and curves out to meet the next section. The bottom section is red-brown then a purple strip below before ending in the tips colored nearly the same as the top. The shadow is a light purple.

My favorite charcoal drawing I’ve done. I haven’t drawn w/ charcoal in several years. I barely started & life changes interrupted my progress. The original book of my drawings is sadly gone. Luckily, I had taken photos of some. 🙂 #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #ArtAdventCalendar #Owl #Art #CharcoalDrawing
A charcoal drawing of an owl.

Another 'forgotten' thing from a random sketchbook.

A small branch of white blossom laid on a black table surface. Beneath it a part page of an open sketchbook showing a black pen and coloured pencil drawing of the same. Loose, fluid lines and scribbled colour used.

The image is a watercolor portrait of a person with curly, tousled brown hair. The individual has a pensive expression, looking slightly to the side. The skin tones are delicately shaded with a combination of light and darker hues, giving depth to the face. The eyes are subtle with hints of purple shading around them. The person is wearing a dark-colored jacket with a prominent collar. The background is a plain, off-white, which highlights the figure. The painting has a signature in the bottom right corner.

The watercolor painting depicts a range of jagged mountains under a cloudy sky. The composition features shades of purple, blue, and gray, giving the mountains a misty and enigmatic appearance. The peaks are prominent, with varying depths of color to indicate shadow and light. In the foreground, there is a hint of a snowy area with subtle brushstrokes suggesting texture and softness.

Day 4
Storm Clouds Gathering

A small mixed-media piece made with collage, acrylic paint, and black pencil.
I really like all the dramatic sky in this one. I can imagine myself in the the landscape, and wonder if I was about to get completely drenched when the storm began. #art
Abstract seascape mixed-media artwork, created with expressive brushstrokes and paper collage elements. The main colours used are grey, turquoise blue and orange. The scene is viewed from the sea looking towards the land on a stormy day.

My #ArtAdventCalendar today is also my Spotify wrapped. I made these three little watercolors for my friend when we went to see #U2 during their Joshua Tree 30th anniversary tour in 2017. I also took my sketchbook to the stadium and drew the stage setup. #art
A watercolor yellow Joshua tree with a black sparkly background. A white U2 spaceman guy on top of rainbow watercolor background. Mysterious Ways belly dancer silhouette in orange watercolor inside a blue circle on a black sparkly background. A white woman's hand holds a sketchbook and a pen. The sketchbook has a drawing of the Joshua Tree stage and is held up in front of the actual stage at Lumen Field, Seattle.
