HI, I tried a very loose watercolor today. Have you checked out Jean Haines watercolor blog? It's over in my blog list. Her work is amazing and so very loose. I don't know how she does it but I thought I'd give it a try with the beautiful colors of the Devil's Walking Stick.(These are from my backyard.) That is the smaller photo. I wet my paper completely. This is 140lb. hot press arches block and then splashed on my colors with a large juicy brush allowing the colors to drip and dry a little. I enjoyed the freedom and then I drew some leaves of the Devil's Walking Stick onto the corner. I'm pleased with it and am thankful for the inspiration..from Jean and the beautiful fall leaves- read her book too. It's amazing. talk to you soon,Diana

ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me with your beautiful fall paintings. I am going outside right now and pick up some fall leaves to arrange with my squash and get my paintbrush moving!
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year to watch the leaves change colour. Never enough time to draw all I would like to. That might be a nice project for next year,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pumpkins , such rich colour in your paintings.
Have fun. And thank you for your lovely comments. Milly
