Sitting at the Gallery Concord yesterday, I was able to finish the bozzetto sheet. Here are the last two pieces. This is an image that I want to work with much more with texture, composition, lighting, and other ideas. Texture and mixed media will require larger formats than 5 x 7 but I am going to work with lighting next so a bozzetto sheet will work nicely. So this is my challenge for the coming month.....to develop as many ideas as I can with this image.
If you haven't had a chance to check out the American Watercolor Society website in the last day, they have finally posted the awards. There are some very exciting paintings there. I am looking forward to being able to see them and the entire show in person. Tomorrow is the official opening of the show with a big reception...food, drink, music. If you can get to New York City, it should be an exciting event.
I finally have my workshop schedule updated. You can find it on my website at www.myrnawacknov.com. The one in Ocean Shores, Washington is being held at a resort and will be like a mini vacation! If you have time in October, consider joining me there.
Just when I thought you couldn't get more powerful with this image... those are quite incredible!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things that I admire about you: even after a significant accomplishment (see under AWS award) you don't just rest on the laurels, but keep ruining forward. Maybe that's the secret to constant growth!
Uhm, I meant "keep running forward"...
ReplyDeleteI need to get more sleep.
Congratulations Myrna!!!! I opened my emails this morning and the one from the American Watercolor Society announcing the Award Winners...and there you were...How excited you must be to be in the company of theNationally known watercolorists and winning an award. Way to go!!!!

Congratulations, Myrna, on your award! I've been having fun watching you develop this particular series of bozzettos; they're inspiring and thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the artists in Ocean Shores. I still can not see the workshop announcement on your workshop page(?) It's exciting that you'll be here for a workshop.
Myrna, these last two bozzettos are superb! You certainly are an ad for creativity through working in a series!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the superb art show. We can't wait to hear about this exciting experience from the perspective of a prestigious award-winning artist.
