Day 2 (Struggled a bit with this one. Paper was drying out even with Arches 300gsm 100% cotton)

Day 3 ….this was my second attempt. Struggled with the sky

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 8 - student project Day 8. Loved this one despite being nervous at first!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 9 - student project Day 9. Had lots of difficulties with this one as paper was drying very quickly!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 10 - student project Day 10. This went surprisingly better than expected. Some cauliflower effects up top but I don’t mind it.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 11 - student project Day 11. Could not achieve the soft tree effect as paper dried up

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 12 - student project Day 12. Proud of this one

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 13 - student project Day 13. Not a huge fan of this one

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 14 - student project

Day 14. I didn’t intend for the right side of the land to curve in so much but not completely unhappy with this one. Loved doing the tree and looking forward to doing my tree using this technique going forward.

Day 15. My field ended up above the halfway point which I didn’t mean it to.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 16 - student project

Day 16. I should’ve put some shadows for the leaves but I got a bit frustrated with the flowers.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 17 - student project

Day 17. Accidentally put too much snow on the right hand side rock formation.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 18 - student project

Day 18. I feel unsure of the middle area of trees. My paper stayed wet for awhile so got the soft look but then I went around cleaning up the hairs which I’m not too sure about now.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 19 - student project

Day 19. I liked it better without the branches hanging down so decided to go without.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 20 - student project

Day 20. This was my second attempt.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 21 - student project

Day 21. I’m not so sure about the right side of my mountains… feels like the light areas look a bit out of place.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 22 - student project

Day 22.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 23 - student project

Day 23. I really struggled with this one. I don’t have fine enough brushes which made drawing the stems very difficult

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 24 - student project

Day 24. I was so scared to do this but am so proud of myself. It didn’t turn out too badly!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 25 - student project

Day 25. Love this one even though I kind of struggled with the white snow on the brown mountains. I made my brown mountains more in the foreground and like the affect of the snowy in the back.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 26 - student project

Day 26. This wasn’t too bad

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 27 - student project

Day 27. I wet my paper too much. The one time I needed it to get dry quicker it didn’t… hence the mountains being so large and the limited white space on the ground. However, I managed to fix it even with all the issues and for that I’m proud :)

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 28 - student project

Day 28. Second attempt. The water from the tape dripped onto the left hand side and left those harsh marks. Need to be more careful about that. Need more practice with the dry brush technique

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 29 - student project

Day 29. Very happy with this one. Could’ve had a bit more of the yellow behind the trees maybe.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 30 - student project

Day 30. Very happy and proud of this one! Looks a bit like a digital illustration!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 31 - student project

Day 31. Love and very proud of this one too!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 32 - student project

Day 32. Happy with this too.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 33 - student project

Day 33. Not too happy with this. Couldn’t achieve the soft look and the reflection is meh.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 34 - student project

Day 34. This is such a disaster but I didn’t like it enough to want to redo it. I didn’t have the right colors for this unfortunately.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 35 - student project

Day 35. I’m very happy with this painting.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 36 - student project

Day 36. The road didn’t turn out well and the background trees aren’t soft so they don’t give the far away effect.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 37 - student project

Day 37. The background trees are a bit too blurred which I’m not happy about.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 38 - student project

Day 38. Messed up the bottom left hand side with the little waterway and also the brown tree on the left. Lost water control around the mountains but not super unhappy about it.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 39 - student project

Day 47.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 48 - student project

Day 48. My green paint spread more than I intended it to hence the many rocks around the edges of the stream.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 49 - student project

Day 49. Feeling so much more comfortable with painting pine trees!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 50 - student project

Day 50. Spot the mistake! Unfortunately my paper was still quite wet when I went to splatter some red flowers so they spread far more than I intended them to so I went ahead and put lots of grass so it didn’t look as weird.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 51 - student project

Day 51. The soft ferns didn’t turn out so most of them look more in the foreground then I intended them to but I don’t mind them. I’m becoming more confident with painting thin lines so I feel happy about that!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 55 - student project

Day 55.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 56 - student project

Day 56. Not a huge fan of this one. I tried to add more defining looking trees since the foreground looked too weird and bright to me.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 57 - student project

Day 57. Pretty happy with the way this one turned out.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 58 - student project

Day 58. The darker trees in front of the autumn ones were a bit too prominent

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 59 - student project

Day 59. I think this could’ve turned out better than it did but I’m not completely unhappy with the end result

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 60 - student project

Day 60. The mountains in the foreground could’ve been better bit. I struggled with the dry brush technique. I did this painting while cooking so it wasn’t as difficult to wait for each layer to dry

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 61 - student project

Day 61. I’m very happy with the way this painting turned out

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 62 - student project

Day 62. I’m not sure I was a huge fan of this painting. It turned out better than I thought it would though

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 63 - student project

Day 63. The soft background trees didn’t turn out as well. I struggled with the wetness of the paper and the watery-ness of the paint

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 64 - student project

Day 64. This didn’t turn out well at all but I didn’t feel like redoing it.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 65 - student project

Day 65. I think the blending of the suns yellow rays with the pink sky could’ve been done a lot better. I could’ve also added some more water lines. I like how the misty effect looks though

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 66 - student project

Day 66. Very happy with this one!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 67 - student project

Day 67. I was worried hoe this was going to turn out but not super unhappy about it! I probably should’ve had less of the fern/grass in the foreground

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 68 - student project

Day 68. Pretty happy with this one. Should’ve tried to keep the mountains a bit lighter.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 69 - student project

Day 69. Struggle with the pine tree are a bit but not unhappy about how it’s all turned out

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 70 - student project

Day 70. Screwed up the lake area…

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 71 - student project

Day 71. The grey clouds could’ve been softer but otherwise, pretty happy with this one

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 72 - student project

Day 72. Struggled with the background mountains

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 73 - student project

Day 73. I’m very happy with this one!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 74 - student project

Day 74. This paper doesn’t hold water well which resulted in some of the mistakes

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 75 - student project

Day 75. Not as happy with the reflection but overall it turned out better than expected

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 76 - student project

Day 76. Pretty happy with this one

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 77 - student project

Day 77. Done on a poor quality paper and looks very messy. I wasn’t feeling too well and didn’t care as much about how this one turned out.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 78 - student project

Day 78. This is the poor quality paper that I’ve used for some of the paintings hence why the blurry effect on the mountain didn’t work out as well. Not that unhappy with how the sheep turned out tho

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 79 - student project

Day 79. The people look funny but pretty happy about the birds

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 80 - student project

Day 80.

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 81 - student project

Day 81. My yellow mixed with the blue and made some of the water blue but some white gouaches came in handy to cover up the mistakes

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 82 - student project

Day 82. Messed up the shadows hence why they are so dark

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 83 - student project

Day 83. I absolutely love the sky but I should’ve used a reference image for the Eiffel Tower since I made the top too round which looks nothing like the Eiffel Tower.I couldn’t get the light right on the right side of the tree either..

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 84 - student project

Day 84. Very happy with this one! I’ve become far more comfortable with drawing trees and branches

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 85 - student project

Day 85. Pretty happy with this one!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 86 - student project

Day 86. The tree shadows in the bottom half could’ve been better. Overall not bad…

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 87 - student project

Day 87. Pretty happy with this one actually!

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 88 - student project

Day 88. With the exception of the bottom bit of the background trees, the rest has turned out pretty well! Will need to do something with the bottom bit

100 Days of Paradise with Geethu - image 89 - student project

Day 89. Pretty happy with this one.
