Bits of Blue. Watercolor, pencil, crayon.
Even the scraps are interesting! The 9 x 12 is now four 4 x 6 postcards. I haven’t decided how they will be placed, or completed. I did get the idea to use one of the smaller strips on the back of the postcard. This will be mailed to the gallery in an envelope, so I can do layers without having to worry about it getting there undamaged. More tomorrow…
Pale to dark, building a base with blues. 9 x 12 watercolor, crayon, pencil.
I am preparing for another postcard show. Painting away. So far lots of blah. Today I started with watercolor pencil, then added white crayon doodles. I used a large flat brush, added light blues, and a little gamboge. While all of that was wet I added indigo plops and puddles, splatters and strokes.
I know I have mentioned this before, but I find indigo absolutely intoxicating. This is a beginning. I can get four postcards out of this sheet. Ahh, the possibilities.
Hope you all enjoyed Memorial weekend. If you have not seen The Monuments Men, make sure you rent it. So thankful for the men who helped save the worlds art treasures, so that they could be seen by future generations.
God Bless American Veterans.
God bless the families of those who gave their lives.
God Bless the men and women who are serving their country.
Come home safe.
