Day 17: #30x30DirectWatercolor: Graphic Novel

15×15″ Graphite Grey + Spot Color + Photoshop Adjustment

So, I fell behind yesterday! Sorry! I don’t really have an excuse; which is of course causing a little anxiety. But hey – this is the reality of the challenge. Getting stalled in the middle is quite a common situation.

If we’re not in the habit of painting every day we can run out of inspiration – because we don’t have a backlog of ideas raring to go.

I don’t have an over-arching project this year. (You can probably tell from my somewhat random output). In previous years I’ve created a larger project. In an ideal world I’d have prepared sketches in advance, or at least lined up thirty days of reference material.

But, for whatever reason, I stand before you unprepared this year! Hah!

But I guess there’s nothing wrong with that. A painting a day is a painting a day. No matter how you manage to do it.

I had a photo today – a street scene from a recent trip to Quebec City. But – – the more I looked at it, the less exciting it seemed.

So I made something up.

What is this little story? Is it a scene from a graphic novel?

I don’t know!

What do you think :) What is going on with this girl and her Dalmatians :)

I’d really like to know!
