Watercolor

I have not done anything with watercolor in a long, long time. However, I am traveling and brought along a small portable watercolor set which I planned to use with drawing. I only brought a few acrylics since I was not planning to do any serious painting; but in doing some sketches, I was not happy with the colors I was getting with the acrylics. So, I tried the watercolors. It has been great fun to go back to seeing what the paper and colors do with the water, and I am loving the bright colors I am getting with this. I don't think I will go back to using watercolor regularly, but it is a good experience.

Painting Without White

Painting without using white pigment is my newest challenge for myself. I have been using white to cover up and take out things - assert and obliterate - process painting. Today I decided to not use white and cover up with black or other colors. It's an interesting challenge.

Energy of Abstract

Working with the energy of abstract - doing the dance of going back and forth, closer and further away from the paiting and adding, taking away from intuitive urges. The only thing set is the colors being used.
