Day 28 (30 in 30 for 30) and Sunday Sketches

"Cubed Owl"  8x10  acrylic on canvas

Today's painting was inspired by a couple of my fellow "Sunday Sketchers".  Last week Katerina created a cubist inspired painting and ever since then I've been itching to cut up one of my sketches and randomly rearrange the pieces...

The progression:  From sketch to finished painting

I was also inspired by Eva who has been creating a series of variations of a tree (she also draws a series of "girls with funny hats" that I absolutely adore).  Since Eva has done so well with her variations on a theme, I thought it might be fun to create another owl painting...  I am lovin' me some owls!

  14. Kristin, your owls are amazing, your blue colours too!!
    I am glad that my cubistic painting inspired you to follow this technique. Νext time you'll have even more interesting results if you pull lines that are not parallel to each other. That was the advice of my teacher before I start the painting. You can also experiment with different colours to the background squares. :)
    I wish you a creative week!!!

  15. Hi Kristin, love the owls also and your "cubist" piece is very fun. I might have to try that myself someday. We did an exercise in my watercolor class that was similar. We were each given a reference piece that was part of a whole, we didn't know what the "whole" was. After we finished our part it was reassembled. Turned out really good and was lots of fun.
