Welcome back to the next painting by numbers instalment
I hope you are proud of your efforts from the last project and it is displayed in your home to much admiration from your family and guests.
Today’s artwork will really test your new-found artistry as it uses 7 colours!
It is entitled “Cocktail Hour”
It depicts a tramp drinking a can of Special Brew and smoking a spliff
Ready, set…get painting!
Colour Key:
1 – Grey
2 – Pink
3 – Gold
4 – White
5 – Dark Blue
6 – Darker Blue
7 – Even Darker Blue, that it’s almost black
Feel free to add your own creative flourish like a spot of blood from when he fell over in the gutter, or any other dubious unidentifiable stains on his clothes.

/ July 30, 2013Looks a lot like Jerry Garcia: The Middle Years.
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013Maybe tramps are just copying his look then and not down and outs after all.

/ July 30, 2013I can do this. No sweat. Right up my…alley….
Speaking of Jerry Garcia (El G’s comment above) I’m part of a volunteer crew that dead-heads the roses in one of Portland’s rose gardens. Proudly…we have nicknamed ourselves: The Grateful Dead-Headers We are waaaaay cool……
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013That is cool!

/ July 30, 2013Damn my paints have dried. Well I’ll just dash up to the art supply store…what it’s gone? I do have a box of crayons.
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013That may work. Or lipsticks
appletonavenue
/ July 31, 2013The crayons worked beautifully. I could even stay in the lines.

/ July 30, 2013This is a brilliant idea. I could scan my sketches and then do this with them.
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013In all seriousness you could as yours would actually be worth doing. I just did them on Gimp using layers, I may not have photoshop but I’m becoming very average at Gimp
pouringmyartout
/ July 31, 2013Pimp that Gimp
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013Sounds like a good name for a cartoon
pouringmyartout
/ July 31, 2013No… we are playing a rhyming game
I suggest you do the same
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013Then hop on over to your site
You’ll see I’ve got it right
pouringmyartout
/ July 31, 2013I never doubted for a minute
That you would do your best to win it.
Laura
/ July 31, 2013Please excuse any typos. It’s hard to read my comment through all the paint on my screen.
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013You could put cling film over the screen, paint on that then lift it off thus preserving your screen. I bet you don’t call it cling film over there
Laura
/ July 31, 2013We call it Saran Wrap, unless we’re afraid the trademark police will come after us, in which case we call it plastic wrap.
joehoover
/ July 31, 2013For once I like the British name, it sounds kinkier

/ August 7, 2013This is so cool! I wonder how Jerry will look hanging next to all my paint-by-number Elvises on black velvet?
joehoover
/ August 8, 2013I can’t compete with velvet Elvis, just too kitsch for its own good!
Are you back on home soil now?
pegoleg
/ August 8, 2013I am back. Thanks to all of England for showing us such a good time! I’m trying to put together a post for tomorrow, but am having a hard time editing down to just 987 photos.
joehoover
/ August 9, 2013Are 986 of them of the royal birth?
gingerfightback
/ August 9, 2013Nice to see Peter Purves again after all these years.

/ August 21, 2013If this doesn’t convince you to rejoin Twitter, I don’t know what will: you can follow DrunkInaGarten. That is all. Carry on.
joehoover
/ August 21, 2013Rewind a minute, Drunk Ina Garten…I’m torn! I had joined Twitter, and got bored again after two days, not been on since. If it’s on Facebook I can manage it. Something about twitter I can’t connect with

/ August 21, 2013I like your choice of colors on this paint by numbers!
joehoover
/ August 22, 2013It’s a bit blue, but he’s been living rough for a while so he just has what freewill had available, it could all do with a wash though
segmation
/ August 22, 2013Great. Thanks for the comment and happy painting! http://www.segmation.com
