| Yellow Daffodils Watercolor on paper, 7x5 |
In the watercolors again today, I am painting loose and allowing the colors and water to work their magic. Every painting is a lesson, and this one is a lesson on how to make 140lb paper work like 300lb. It takes more work and planning when working with lighter weight paper, but I am trying to make the most of it. I must work faster, because that paper absorbs and dries more quickly. I must be careful not to overwork an area, because the lighter paper will not stand up to much brushwork. This paper does have some texture, but I prefer more. I have so little time for painting during spring break with al the kids home! I find I am painting into the wee hours again! This painting is the 1182nd in 1182 days.
