Bluegill sketchbook painting in acrylic

I seem to be on a fish theme this weekend.  It started with the goldfish painting. I want to get some practice painting fish for the wood cutouts I made.  I will paint them soon.  I will hopefully be going fishing next week.

 

Gold Fish Oil Painting. On Canvas

The different stages of the Goldfish oilpainting.  From finished to start.

 

Skull oil painting

I painted this on a homemade canvas.  Streatched it myself with some inexpensive drop cloth from the local hardware store.  I like the ruff texture it has, it gives the painting some life.  I don't know why I painted a skull, it just seemed right. 

 

Pitcher and fruit oil painting.

I used  a drop cloth canvas and made the frame myself.  The canvas is not the best quality but I am still learning how to make my own canvas.   The painting is oil and 13in x 13 in.  Oranges and plumbs.  I like the way it turned out.  Probably going to sell this one.

Hay Field Oil Painting

My friday night oil painting warm up. Not sure if I will do another.  Sitting and staring at a blank canvas right now.  I am looking for some ideas for my next painting.  Maybe a few beers will help the creative process along.  lol.

 

Watercolor sketchbook paintings.

 I have been busy this July.  Little time to paint.  Here are two sketchbook paintings. 

Humming bird Oil Painting

I painted this on oil paint friendly paper,  Still trying to warm up to the oil paints.  I am going to do a few more paintings on paper before I paint on canvas.
