π¨For our π¨ Art Date π¨, today's optional prompt is Fog! Poor Sylvester the Cat...when it comes to trying to catch Tweety Bird, he's got the courage of a lion...but when he's all alone with his active imagination, especially in a spooky foggy forest, he's terrified!
This was a fun project to put together. I sketched out Sylvester in my sketchbook, then transferred the image to my graphics design tablet where I cleaned him up a little!
I painted a foggy forest scene with watercolors for the background. I used Payne's Gray for the trees and a very watery mix of gray and white to wash over the dry painting of the trees. I took out a light gray coloring pencil and kind of scratched up the trees to give them a little texture.
I uploaded my painting and superimposed Sylvester on top. I turned down the opacity a little bit then digitally painted in a wash of dark blue to make it look dark and foggy!
I love these vests, every one of my dogs has one and they glow so I can see them when the dogs are out and about. The mornings are so dark now, these vests always alert me to where they are!
Here is my latest drawing lesson on Rain Frances Art For Kids!

ReplyDeleteHm, no, my sweet tooth again is in hibernation - but I love that you wanna make sure your recipe is perfect before sharing!
I live in the city, but wee your storage sure was an olympic task indeed - chapeau!
And biggest YAY on the dog vests! Everyone should wear them in this half of the year - many a cyclist here already does. Have a great day!
I'm so impressed with your DIY firewood storage. You go girl! I really like Sylvester in the fog. Water colors are perfect for fog.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I love your painting-I follow you on your you tube channel. I miss not having wood heat take care Kathy
ReplyDeleteBrownies are a magnificent idea! I haven’t baked anything in ages.
ReplyDeleteHello lovely Rain! Loving all your creative videos! Love your drawing. Super cute and I need to give it a try! :) Sending you lots of love and hugs my friend. Have a lovely rest of the month. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI really love the watercolor and appreciate your explaining how you did the trees and fog. It works so well. The dog vests are a brilliant idea. You're right about dark days!
ReplyDeleteI will be back to link my Fog art. This gives the a great opportunity to get to my art desk again. I will do a blog post today. Much love!
ReplyDeleteSylvester is a big scaredy cat like me...well, I'm a scaredy Cathy. :) Foggy conditions are kind of creepy and I certainly don't like being out in the middle of nowhere. I'm reminded of many occasions in the mountains with it being foggy at dusk and we'd get out of the car to do something. It can be mysterious and haunting or unnerving, especially when your nose detects an animal scent. The last thing I want to see coming out of the fog is a big ole hungry bear or wolf or anything else with long sharp teeth. You did a great job and I love how the watercolor foggy woodsy landscape turned out.
ReplyDeleteYou're ingenious coming up with your firewood shed. I hope it stands throughout the winter okay for you. I can imagine just how tiring that project was to complete, but you got it done. Now, you can enjoy some cozy fires in your new stove. That sounds lovely!
Congratulations on your YouTube videos going viral! That's a good feeling, I bet. :) Thank you for hosting the weekly art & food date. I can't believe October has vanished so quickly. Have a doodletastic rest of the week! xo
Lovely fog piece Rain, off to watch your video, congrats!
ReplyDeleteFun video and the brownies sound good!
DeleteI like your art and the process you went through to accomplish it. I am not an artist but do appreciate art. Gigi Hawaii
ReplyDeleteHello Rain,
ReplyDeleteLove the Sylvester sketches! The reflective vests are a good idea for your dogs, we have hunting season here now and the bright colors are for safety. Take care, have a great day!
Awesome job on drawing Sylvester and creating that eerie fog forest background! And gotta tell ya, Rain, I really enjoyed watching your DIY woodshed video! Inventive, creative and ingenious! Plus I love your Jack-o-Lantern tuque!
