This is a fast demo done for a student class - I guess it took about 35 minutes. For the moment I'm calling it " A Touch of Green " - didn't have any reference photos, but in my mind's eye I saw this scene of up-north amongst the Lakes of Haliburton, with a touch of sunshine making the green illumination. Sort of liked it and will do a full sheet of this same thing next week.

I use a wet-into-dry technique and with a little spritzing the painting practically paints itself. The colours meld and join hands and run minor and unexpected riots across the paper. Much easier to handle that wet-into-wet - unless you're a mster judge of papers and that precise moment when to apply the pigments.

" A Touch of Green " - 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" on Arches 140 Rough Brightwhite




Thanks for looking in.
