Day 1 - Another 30 Paintings in 30 Days 

Another 30 Paintings in 30 Days project begins.  In January of 2016 over 1500 artists worldwide  participated in the challenge.  This September should add a few more - so here we go again...

The impetus for the beginning of this 30 Day sequence is this painting.  More will be revealed as the days unfold...

Singing Homeland

The palette for this painting encompasses almost all transparent pigments: Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Pink, Quinacridone Coral, Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Indanthrone Blue - with a touch of Cobalt Teal Blue (the lone non-transparent paint).  

Believe it or not, the painting is a bit more vibrant in person.  It really does sing a happy and clear tune.

An Inner Piece

Today's limited color is palette is extended to four different transparent pigments: Quinacridone Burnt Orange,  Quinacridone Violet, Nickel Azo Yellow and Phthalo Blue (Green Shade).   Once again, as with an abstract painting, may be viewed in more than one way.  I chose the vertical view to best describe this inner piece of a landscape-like presentation.

Triad 2 Ways

Today's painting focuses on another trio of transparent watercolors: Quinacridone Magenta, New Gamboge and Phthalo Blue (Green Shade).  In essence, it falls into the rhelm of a variation of the primary colors of red, yellow and blue.

To me, the painting may work more than one way.  I would be interested in getting your feedback regarding your preference - #1 Vertical or #2 - Horizontal, by leaving a comment below or by emailing info@cagleyart.com:

Triad

Used a limited palette of three of my favorite transparent watercolors - Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Magenta and Green Gold.  I wanted to allow the colors to interact but keep them clear, crisp and bright in the overlays.  The colors in the framed photo below are the most accurate.

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!

Searching

Multimedia experience using a watercolor and ink underpainting and then pastels.  It was a challenge to strike a balance between the two mediums.  I searched for an optimal way to use the pastels to soften and blend without muting out the watercolor pigments.

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.
