(this time my composition 'Recumbency' as created in 2018, was printed with paynes-grey ink)
Just a grey girl, her box, and a drizzle hazed field.
Payne's grey is one of my favorite colors ever. Its so quiet, unobtrusive, and subtle.
rainy day in Glyfada, perfect for fishing and trying out some of the new watercolors acquired in London – Payne’s grey.
A blue-ish, green-ish combination, Sookie gave us these two colors for week four.
I love pairing blues and greens together. It makes for such a serene palette. I brought out a dress that I just don't ever want to get rid of because of the pattern and colors in it. Yes, your eyes are seeing correctly; that indeed IS a sculpty skirt (and sleeves). Oh, and I'm wearing prim hair. And a system shirt underneath.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it... older items can still create a cute outfit :)

On Wednesday our intrepid outdoor watercolorists met at 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue for class. A sodden evening, and chilly. The cityscapes before us were leaden and ponderous. I came there fresh from painting at the Frederick Law Olmstead Award luncheon in Central Park, making splattered records of the women and men decked out in fabulous day fashions topped with spectacular hats. Poppy reds, lemon yellows, acid greens under a sea of Tiffany blue umbrellas. At that time of day rain drizzled directly on my pages, turning hard high heels into lace-topped boots, and simple sleeves into ruffled poufs. So by that evening, I knew that despite the ominous look of the weather there were opportunities to make art. That was my biggest take away from the day. If I was going to paint that event, I had to do it in the conditions that presented themselves. And amazingly, I loved what I got. Only by making the effort do we have the chance to get something good. Only by blowing it off do we lose that chance.

The task I presented to class on Wednesday evening was to paint 10-15 minute value sketches using brushes loaded richly with one color, and others with no color at all - just dampened with water. The results were marvelous!
I have been trying to get across this idea of drawing out areas of rich color with nothing but a dampened brush - and I think the limitation of using just one color helped to clarify and ease the process. Volume,reflection and a play of hard and lost edges result.
Sadly, I did not photograph Suma's fancifully apocalyptic page, but I did take snaps of a couple of Adrienne's studies. These represent a leap into a solid command of value range on the page, and I could not be happier to see it! Below are two of hers; one of the arched entrance of 200 Fifth Avenue with it's wonderful clock, and one of a cart and buildings under the whimiscal watch of animated street lamps and stop lights. Atmosphere! Luminosity! Verve!
Above is my take on the arch at 200 Fifth, with the subway entrance.
See you tomorrow, PicNic kids- and on Wednesday, 23 Skidoos!

Hey self portrait of myself. All done in Paynes gray with a pen brush. This is 140 pound Canson watercolor paper. (Update) I'm going to complete the neck, shoulders and probably put a slight was behind the head of a different color. Suggestions?

A late night page... The 1940s cup of my Royal Albert tea set, thinking of doing some knitting during 8 hours in the car later in the week (an unexpected journey) and trying paynes grey to make a black... Never seen the point of the colour when you can make beautiful dark blue-greys from my two favourite colours (burnt sienna and french ultramarine)... But I do hate mixing black (takes so long- lots of paint) that a darker colour would help. Also thinking about neutral tint but that seems a little purple to me. I do need a good black solution as so many things seem to be black.
Somewhat experimental page- but that is what my daily sketchbook is all about.
