| Voodoo is getting some background - permanent rose and quin. burnt orange. |
 |
| Right now, I am in the process of darkening it. I'm sure I'll have to intensify the shadows on his head as well. |

| I used this as a reference photo for the class yesterday. |

| Again, I masked what I wanted white, in this case the few balsam standing at the edge of the pond. I wet the paper thoroughly, and applied aureolin, alizarin crimson and cobalt blue, then sprayed and let the colors blend on their own. I did a second similar wash, using quin. gold instead of aureolin. Then I covered the sky and water with scrap watercolor paper, and spattered gold, quin. burnt orange, alizarin crimson and cobalt blue, and then sprayed to let them flow together. |
 |
| Here, I have removed the masking, and am working on the trees, and getting some strategic dark shadows around the focal area. That's it for now. The sun is shining warmly and invitingly, and Bruno awaits! He is in serious shedding mode - hair flying everywhere. Thank you so much for dropping by! |
You manage to paint so much despite your schedule :) The horse is coming out lovely and I am sure the trees would start to sparkle very soon with you wielding your magic brush!
