100 Tiny Paintings #16-20

1/4 of the way through! (p.s. Actually 1/5; my math isn’t mathing.)

16. A pencil sharpener. I had the notion to try an underpainting of orange just to see what would happen. It gave me the shade of blue I wanted, but I regret putting it on the entire thing. I also overworked it a bit and wished I had left the table just white.

17. An amazon sword plant from my aquarium, I’m quite happy with this one! I let each leaf dry before wetting the next. I painted the shadows in purple.

18. This is my favorite one; a little mushroom stuffy I love.

19. After 16 I ran out of paper and the hobby merry-go-round rotated to cross stitching. Cutting paper isn’t the funnest thing. I kept wanting to paint, but not cut-up the paper. This one’s just a shell. I messed up and drew some of the pen lines in the wrong place. I randomly wanted to see what a blue background would look like.

20. Haha! Not my best work… but I didn’t say I was making 100 great tiny paintings! It’s supposed to be a Calathea leaf.
