This week I have not been painting as much... However, today I painted an owl. I drew it mainly from using a circle template I 3d printed.
I was originally working on a template/stencil to make drawing out rectangles on my watercolor paper easier. I enjoy painting on blocked watercolor paper, but it can be a bit pricey... after a price comparison, I realized that the paper was significantly cheaper if I just purchased the larger blocks and painted sections of the paper.
For example, the block of 20 sheets of 5x7 hot press costs ~$15... whereas the block of 20 sheets of 15x10 Hot Press costs ~27... that's like paying around $7 for the 5x7 of which I tend to use. This can be a bit of savings for me in the long run.. instead of spending around $60... I'll only be spending a bit less than $30... which means more money for paint! =)
Anyway... enjoy the owl!
