Sand Dunes and Morro Rock 10.7.15
This watercolour exercise was inspired by ms.diplomacy’s photo entitled Morro Rock View, which she posted on July 8th. I loved its minimalism, complementary colors, shapes and spaces. Many thanks ms.d 🙂Studio 365: Day 190

Today’s lesson was entitled Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot: balance of light and dark elements. The image started simply with a light wash followed by dark solid shapes leaving sky-holes within the foliage and painting a single tree-trunk within the reserved white of the sky. Highlights were created scraping the paint away with a sharp knife. Look for the color exercise tomorrow.

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.

One final palette piece that deserves its own space, I’m sure you’ll agree…
It’s been quite a day…
