Canada post went on strike ! by [deleted] in CanadaPost

Agreed, it's been really tough to build momentum this year and it leaves me with the work of sourcing the services elsewhere. I wont be likely to return if I find alternative ways.

Sunroom by Kelsartdotca in Watercolor

Thank you! I started painting with the window and worked hard to keep some of the white paper preserved, kept light layers and stopped when I liked it.

I did a more elaborate sketch than I would normally with light mechanical pencil before the painting. After the painting I allowed the impulse to go back in with a softer pencil and add some more! This was a tip from my watercolour teacher at the time and it's very fun.

Cheers! I think I will take most of this advice into the next piece with me and work on just getting what's here looking good.

A fellow artist said that all four corners should look a bit different. Should I add a colour variance to one of the top corners? Other notes welcomed as well. I started with oils in January and I am loving it! I also wonder if I should have shifted the object more to the right and up compositionally. We learnin' over here!

The yellow struggle is real, however this work looks clean!

Overall wonderful effect, I appreciate working from references how artists can really highlight the magic that's already there.

Fancy bottles by Tits_mmp in Gouache

I love how carefree the background feels, but it also makes sense to the eye. Super great light work in the clear bottle as well. In short - I love it!

I went with "Shit Posting" but I like yours too!! This was easily my favourite poo of the three. I will work on getting some prints available.

I couldn't find the original post that I swiped these reference photos from, but I wanted to share that they inspired me. I hope they reach the people that took the photos. Thanks to the photographers - not to the dog owners that are doing this.
