January 30 x 30 Challenge # 24 Standing Pool

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 24 Standing Pool

This is the view of the large standing pool,  Water comes up to you shoulders... of course how tall you are...The further wall has a cascade of water for a wonderful water message...  There are a few islands to lean on .  Actually the pole of the railing was right in the middle of the couple which I moved over to the left.
Figuring what to put in and WHAT to leave out is important.

20 x 20 Heavy brown paper. Neocolor I wax pastels and pencils and medium.

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 23 More Bathers

More bathers in a the pools....  Loved the special lighting that came from the windows.  May have exaggerated but I have a licence in my pocket!!

20 x 20 cm Heavy brown paper.  Neocolor I wax pastels and pencils.  Here again I made an under painting of the main areas and used  liquin medium. I may have crayoned in while it was wet and then drew in more details when it dried.

I can't believe it  three weeks have flown by.... we're into the last stretch of the challenge.  Now to make our own challenge and continue the creativity...

Another in the spirit of painting... Simple stove in the sauna.... lighting was bad so photo showed weird coloring patterns... maybe not a bad thing...
