So this was just playing with color washes. I know not very artsy, but it’s just what I needed after the last two postings. Lots of painting today for me. So just very light washes from my pallet. Just drew out circles overlapping here and there. Glazed over circle previously painted and dried just to see. Could I keep the was even? How did the glaze on top change the color? Just fun and simple idea. Have a great first day of summer!
So today I just had a hankering to play with color. It actually turned into working on liner work.
Then one thing lead to another and now cats are watching fish under water and fish have eyelashes. It is quite goofy but good practice. I did do some glaze washes over dried color washes. Used a lot of saturated color as well.
I just grabbed a picture from my inspiration box of photos . Here is number 9. Measures about 2 inches by 3 inches. Done mostly wet into wet ,some dry brush with deep concentrations of color. Such fun!
This I must say was an eye opener, when we say we don’t have enough time. It is So not true ,I have proved to myself that I can find the time. I was really entrenched in this process this month, and had a fun time doing it. So now I need to keep this momentum going, painting away.
These are my 30 , and pleased overall. Thanks for taking a look 🙂
I just had a hankering to play with my Blue and Yellow watercolors. To experiment with stripes of each blue and then adding a yellow wash on each blue to see how they looked. I let the blue completely dry . Then added a medium wash of each yellow with out disturbing the bottom color. This way the bottom color shows through the top color and changes the look.
This is a bit different from what I usually do in my paintings.. Typically I bring two colors side by side and let them mingle and do their thing, and or mix it in the palette. I’ve added the beginnings of this project below. Which began with just drawing lines, adding the painting name at the top and sides. Then proceeded painting each blue, after they where totally dry did a medium wash of yellow over the blue. I think lighter washes would probably work better. When this technique is done right it can be so beautiful.
