| You Know It's Spring When.... Watercolor and Crayon Approximately 21 x 29 inches |
I've been trying to work much larger than I normally do--it's a challenge. I had a request for a large painting on spec, and that's fine--I'd be painting anyways. Part of the request was landscape versus portrait for size, and that's part of the challenge. When I have my paint set out, I have to walk around the table to get to parts of the paper. It's not especially efficient.
I also usually have a little (at least a little) control of my water and paint, and with the large size, it seems like this flies out the door. Sections of the paper dry before I'm ready. All of this leads me to think I should paint large more often.
I bought these tulips from Costco--they were bulbs is a large glass jar, and they helped when there was still snow on the ground. Now things are starting to come up outside--yay!
The painting is on Fabriano 300 lb Rough, in ultramarine blue, indian yellow, permanent yellow deep, and quinacridone violet. There is a touch of a peach caran d'ache crayon in the tulip bulbs.
