1 hr painting #3

1 hour painting #2

My 2nd " 1 hr challenge" !

My paintings are always little bit de-saturated ( Is it right word? ) every time I post on Blogger...
Does anyone have same problem?

Let's try 1 hour painting!

Dave suggested me to limit my time for painting for practice.
I usually spend...I don't know, 10 hours or so...? for one painting.
I decided to try 1 hour quick sketch and painting.

・・・It's hard! But fun at the same time:)
