Let It Flow

I used some fluid mask to preserve and define some of the shapes.  I especially enjoyed using Lapis watercolor to get some granulation in the blue areas.  Layered with other transparent colors to create depth and places for the eye to explore...

Day 24 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, January, 2015

In the Beginning

Today's painting was re-purposed from the beginning of a painting that had been sitting around the studio awaiting a facelift.  I used watercolor ground, covering what I did not want and then painted on the new surface created by the ground.  The ground allowed for a nicely paintable substrate that now had texture while still allowing the paint to do its thing.

It was my first time trying the watercolor ground and I was impressed at its adaptability and usefulness.  I was grateful that I had it and was able to experience its ability to rescue a wayward painting.  Sometimes you just need to call in the rescue squad!

Day 17 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, January, 2015

Touching the Sky

Today's palette involves PrimaTek watercolors, which are mineral-based, naturally occurring pigments.  The colors are generally more subtle earth tones (I used Yavapai, Hematite Violet, Mummy Bauxite, Sedona Genuine, Kyanite Genuine, Serpentine  Genuine) plus some jewel shades (Amazonite Genuine, Rhodonite Genuine, Fuchsite Genuine and Red Fuchsite Genuine). Some are granulating and others (like the Fuchsites) are sparkly.  I appreciate the rich and earthy pigments that reflect the energy of the earth expressing through the minerals.
