So today I started, immediately too involved to take pictures.
Day 18 Clouds
This is pretty straight forward. Lots of paper spritzing and a huge mop brush carrying the colors for the clouds-I tilted the board up, down sideways, paper toweled away huge drips. I Let the sky dry and did the same for the trees/bushes.
Palette
Prussian Blue
Thalo Purple
Lamp Black
Van Dyke Brown.
Cerulean blue
Lemon Yellow
Cadmium Yellow Deep
Hookers Green
Yellow Green
and a bit of yellows in the clouds/sky very lightly for light, spritzed with water and wiped to give streaks.
I walked away from this early on---
Day 19 Color Splashes
Honest this started with splashes, but feeling compulsed to give the splashes some context, I started loosely painting with a smaller brush to give things some definition. This is a loose interpretation of my kitchen corner cabinet, which is full of Delft, Flow Blue, and antique plates and crockery..
The three splashes in the middle shelf are little Dutch figures of my grandmother's. The flowers in pots are dried flowers from bouquets given to me by family members.
I had to walk away from this, before ALL the splashes disappeared. Definitely a challenge.
Palette
Carmine
VanDyke Brown
Burnt Sienna
Cobalt
Prussian Blue
Cerulean Blue
Cadmium Yellow Deep
Yellow Green
Hookers Green
These exercises are great learning tools.
I'm hoping that at the end of the month, my painter's brain will be revived, and I can sit down and do some larger paintings.
