I meant for the background to be more pinkish, but I do like the warmth. The vase is a mix of Bordeaux and Burnt Sienna, not sure any of the red shows though. The other colors are the same as yesterday. Turner jaune brilliant (red), yellow ochre, Naples yellow and cerulean, and cad yellow. The centers are spidery, like mini lightning bolts. The effect of wet color spreading into drier color. They actually dried that way! Usually the paint continues to spread and that effect is lost.

I started one of the classes I purchased on Udemy. Painting abstract landscapes in watercolor, with Jean Lurssen. It is pretty basic, but she did help me see things differently. I am looking forward to putting those lessons to use. I also purchased her class on painting dramatic skies.

Right now classes are on sale, starting at $11.99! Take a look, and if you purchase through this link, I will earn a little something towards another class. (Thank you kindly.)

Happy Sunny Monday ya’ll!

Have I mentioned how much I love my new palette. OK, I think this is the third time, but I swear, it will be the last. I keep hearing “Oklahoma” in my head. There is so mush wide open space to mix paint! I still love the sketchers box, won’t be giving that up. Feeling grateful!
