And on to Day 7! For today I used this photo from the road just traveled...
After reading a book on watercolor I wanted to try a very simple wash using an impression of the natural colors and then going back over it with ink.
I'm going to be working on what they call "pulling a wash" over the next few days. Now that I've read about it I realize I'm not very successful yet.
I'm working at freeing myself up with the paint. It can be so beautiful when left to leave it's own marks... when it kind of does what it wants to do.
After drying I went back over it with black waterproof india ink...
And there you have it. Day 7.
