Pond Painting
I have been planning a series of large & dramatic paintings in my mind. I ordered a large canvas and a few panels from my favourite art supply store. Started the work and went -eh? At first it seemed to fill my easel. But now I wish it was even bigger. Next one!!!
Monochromatic Greens
Painting with green in acrylic is quite the challenge. The colours are never quite what you expect. And then they dry darker. Greens in watercolour are so much easier. And there is not any standardization in colours between brands. Sap green in one brand may be garish and in another almost olive. What the heck. That brings me to the colour I love to hate. Viridian! It is up there with the ever challenging cerulean (in watercolour) . Vididean is neon, unforgiving and yet essential to mix living greens found in our northern climate. Then you have to mix the bejeebers out of it to make it believable!
Questions for you
What would you title a pond painting?
Would you add in froggies or koi fishies? Or both?
Helpful hint
As I often work on many painting at the same time, it is easy to forget which colours I was working with on which painting. And so I journal. I purchased a moleskin book that accepts watercolour and use it as a bit of a colour diary. I will also write down my thoughts as I am painting on the opposite site. This really helps with it come sto blogging!
