Right answers or not
Waking at 2:30 this morning, I was glad I’d set one of my tablets beside me last night. I used the moment to see if I could find a quicker way to edit painting photos. I’m not sure I succeeded, other than finding a good way to put myself back to sleep — I ended … Continue reading Right answers or not
Computers
I’m going to have to break down and get a new publishing computer I think. Argh. It feels like I’m always buying computers. Our I’m going to need to rethink what I do have (which is probably what I’ll do). But, my Surface has been with me for a long time. At first, i thought … Continue reading Computers
When a story can go any direction
I feel like I’m at a strange point in Arlyn‘s story. I’m just beyond that one-third point and I’m trying write through it. I feel like I’m missing something. I want something awesome, something to add an additional level to the story where readers who has gone through the Sacred Knight series will just be … Continue reading When a story can go any direction
Photos that sit
I spent my painting time today photographing to catalogue them. I was glad to find that the one I thought I’d mid-numbered wasn’t actually numbered. For some reason, maybe an alternate universe sliding over, I never actually put the sequence on it, never written it on the substrate. I don’t know why I thought I … Continue reading Photos that sit
Merlin’s happy day
When I picked Merlin up today from doggie day care, the groomer there said, “He’s always so happy.” Merlin panted happily all the way home. Yes, he was so happy. Everything was just delightful for him. Before I picked Merlin up and I was driving home, I saw a big yellow smiley face painted on … Continue reading Merlin’s happy day
All good things in time
So, last night I fully intended to wake early, get my 1,000 words in, then spend the rest of the day painting. I fully thought I’d be start painting about 11:00 this morning. Yeah. Here’s what really happened. I had a hard time waking up and didn’t manage to stay awake until 9 this morning. … Continue reading All good things in time
Painting and more
I broke out the airbrush today. Yes, I feel like I spent more time cleaning up than actually using it, but I got some results I’m very happy with. I also stocked up on canvases today. Or I thought I had. (Grin) The picture at the top of the blog was half of a full … Continue reading Painting and more
Kids book underway
Well, so much for the templates I downloaded yesterday. I tried using one of them but I was having issues with the text doing what I wanted. I ended up designing my own template. Unfortunately, I still had issues. Apparently one program doesn’t copy text to another very well. I feel like I keep hitting … Continue reading Kids book underway
Words and templates
I’ve been focusing on words today. I’ve been half wondering if that is fear of stepping up to the easel. I’m going to write a quick blog, then I’m going to go prove myself wrong, even if I only get a little bit of painting done today. I will get to the easel. Last night, … Continue reading Words and templates
Foreground training
As stated last night, I wanted to do another painting with the same composition. So, today I started that, but I changed it up a bit. I figured if foreground was bugging me, let there be more of it. And maybe I kept it simple, but baby steps. So the picture at the top of … Continue reading Foreground training
