Watercolor Car Time-lapse

PokeStops - Fritz

This is an old theater in Denton, TX. It also happens to be one of my favorite PokeStops. Painted on location.

Sorcery - Fritz

The prompt today was sorcery. The alternate prompt was lamps. I just did them both. I haven't checked, but there is a 90% chance that if I look through the reddit thread, I'll find this same mashup. I can't be the only one who thought up this joke. Oh well.

Earlier in the morning, I decided to mix some colors and see what I could get. The answer? I need practice mixing colors. For instance, you'll see one combo has an asterisk in it. The reason being that this mix horrible, but, I know for a fact I can make a gorgeous orange out of it. The trick, almost no red. Anyways, I spent way too long on the chart. I know that there are better and faster ways to do it. I'm thinking about having a page in a sketchbook to try just two colors per page, with different mix percentages of those two colors. That'll be a lot of work.

Fantasy Plants & Nature - Fritz

With every prompt that they put up on reddit, they offer an alternate prompt. The alternate today was "coffee tables." I wasn't feeling the plants thing, in spite of mixing 30 square inches of greens and such. Just wasn't feeling it.

Our coffee table, also known as an old trunk in some circles, is also an old trunk. I bought it at a junk store we have here in town, carried it about five blocks, and I love it. There are several different things written on it, and I've tracked the trunk from Alaska to Indiana to Texas. Of course, those things are just painted on there, it might not be true.

Fireflies Didn't Work - Fritz

So, right now on reddit, all the prompts are birds. I didn't want to paint a bird, so I asked my sister what I should paint. She told me fireflies. Well, joke is on her. I tried. And guess what? I can't paint well enough to capture their ghost-like nature-beauty.

I gave up. What could I paint? How about...my paint! So here is my paint palette/box thingy. I have a black color in my palette. I really dislike it. Forget the fact that it's actually graphite grey. I still don't like it. I've been having such a blast mixing colors, even blacks and greys. The blacks and greys in this painting are mixed by me. I feel like the "black" I put in there is just a waste of space.

Car stuff is really expensive. It's the worst.
