Looks spot on in me eyes, a very well seen and beautiful picture. Will be interested in seeing how you create a less worked version at some point.this is the picture of roses I mentioned last week,
Always a mystery. Today I ate a very small scone made with coconut flower and a small amount of self raising flower, no jam just butter and a lump of cheese, my BG stayed over 6 all day even though all else was low carbs. Yet when we used to eat out I often would succumb to a piece of Cheese Cake and surprisingly there would be no effect on BG. Still it sounds like you had an enjoyable outing.thing is three hours later I was down at 3,6 and feeling definitely hypo would you credit it.
@gennepher - guardian cat spirit, I like itand that's a nice landscape, mountains are far from simple to render
Art bit -
still pondering getting a new brush, not quite sure which, I'm thinking a 10 or a 12 round, the one that is balding is a 10.
this is the picture of roses I mentioned last week, I began with the watercolour pencils and fiddled with it until it ended up overworked, might have another go to see if I can improve
Busy day, decided to start to decorate Mrs MCs study, 12' by 12' just glossing left to do, two coats of emulsion all the undercoating and shelves up, level, finished thank goodness. Left little time for art so just a simple quick Japanese Style watercolour of Mrs MCs Bonsai Larch....
A4 about 15 minutes...

@gennepher hope your day remained sunny. Liked the Mountain scene and the contrast between detailed and rushed.
Brilliant - so tricky trying to get those lines and dots lined up. I do like this style.Painting for today from @dunelm 's Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting I sourced from the Internet Archive, and borrowed it for 14 days.
In ZenBrush2
The mountain on the right took one hour because it was a dull day outside, then suddenly the sun came out and clear blue skies, and I ain't sitting in bed painting on a now beautiful day. So two mountains on the left and the clouds were a rush job done in 10 minutes (you can tell!)...I am out there in that sun...byeeee

Wow - super dupergood evening all

Shades of George Formby today - turned out nice again
loads of visitors about for the bank holiday Monday and for some reason lots of them with new cars
Mr gee got some plants put out in the garden and I went round again with the weedkiller spray targeting the sea buckthorn seedlingsthen we had a good walk round the village.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@Alien Aspie - somehow I suspect it's going to be a while before I achieve artistic Wu Wei
@dunelm - interesting range of trees from your new practice regime, and commiserations for the achesmy gran used to say 'it'll be grand when its done'

@Muddy Cyclist - the finished work is very true to the sketch and those watery fields and sky are lovely

Thank you, trunk one movement with paint full rigger large rigger brush.Fabulous - I love the way do did the trunk
Speedy and like you say something satisfying about achieving a piece of art from those quick movements, brilliant. Whilst yesterday's Bonsai painting did take 15 minutes the signature did take about another 3 mins.My painting for today in ZenBrush2 is from 'Example of Mi Fei's style in rendering mountain peaks'.
I spend far too long doing my digital paintings. Today I am busy and I needed a quick one one to do. So I chose this one and gave myself a time limit of 10 minutes. After all @Muddy Cyclist does his masterpieces in 15 minutes using real paint and paper.
10 minutes. I had it done in 7 minutes. 3 mins left. I did the seal. More than 2 and a half minutes left. I popped the setting sun at the top of the mountain. Two and a half minutes left, so I added a bit of pink shading on the mountains. Two minutes left, so I shot over to Snapseed to put on the thin black frame on which I like. Saved it. One minute to spare. I did this in 9 minutes.
it was actually satisfying!!!!
