Studio 365: Day 187

Lessons from the Great Masters Day 6 – # I

Arizona Revisited I 6.7.15

Arizona Revisited II 6.7.15

Definitely a quantum leap with today’s exercises, which involved creating watercolor monoprints by pressing paper onto wet paint on my white ceramic palette. The effects were both exciting, and not unexpectedly, surprising.

After the paper was removed from the palette the images were worked on and as they changed they reminded me of the night sky on the McDowell Sonoran Reserve in Scottsdale, from our recent trip to Arizona.

One final palette piece that deserves its own space, I’m sure you’ll agree…

It’s been quite a day…

What a fabulous collection to be ‘all in a days work’! Of course I particularly love that last piece which absolutely oozes unctuous form and colour. But the whole array is stunning. I have ordered copies of the book for both my art student daughters …. gifts for the next time I am in England 🙂

  Definitely … the younger one has a following of several thousands on Tumblr so I will make sure she mentions Deb Riley and you for exposure (in the best sort of way!!) 😀

You are amazing Andrew I love every one of these and agree somehow Arizona does come through on several of them. Your work just keeps getting better and better.
