The Shut-Eye Series

These odd and colorful watercolor paintings belong to a series I did a couple of months ago I called the Shut-Eye Series. Each one was drawn in about two minutes with a micron pen, and with my eyes completely shut. Then I would paint them (with my eyes open) with watercolor paints. I really loved doing these, and was surprised how much control I had on the drawing part, what with not looking and all. I would like to do another series of these, maybe one with animals, famous people, sailor's kneecaps or something like that.






Here are three of the pre-painted drawings, just to show you the ridiculousness I was giving myself to work with.
