| This started out as a class demo last Saturday. I was showing different ways of applying pigment. I dotted the branch with clean water, and then dotted in some color - quin. gold, quin. burnt orange and cobalt blue. I liked the look, so I worked on it at home ... |
 |
| The leaves and stems all got a wash of aureolin. Then I used quin. colors for the leaves and softer, non-staining colors for the stems. |
 |
| Here it is - thinking it will look good as an 8 x 8 in. varnished work. The markings on the petals is a quin. pink, and the grey for the shadows is a lavender made of quin. pink, cobalt blue and aureolin. |

| reference photo I was heading to the park to walk the Maggot, and these apple blossoms at my neighbor's house caught my eye. The light was early evening - just perfect. |
 |
| This was another one started in last week's class. Almost unrecognizable ... OK, it IS unrecognizable! It is a Venice scene, very faint at the top, darkening to some gorgeous warm greens and browns at the bottom. |
 |
| Did a fair bit on this one before I got my camera back from repair. |
 |
| I am here now, trying to get those shadows in the yellows dark enough. I think yellow is the most difficult color in which to create credible darks! I think I may have to use the oranges. That's it in my part of the painting world for now. Thank you so much for dropping in!! |
