I decided to do another watercolor nude and take a break from the cherry blossoms. Cutting out all those blossoms...well- it get's to be like...weaving...or knitting...the same motion- over and over...and I needed to change things up and explore something curvier...using different colors.
First I started with a quick sketch....as always-- and used my water color pencil.
after I did my sketch....I wanted so bad to dive in and start the watercoloring...
just one thing...
I wanted to make it look different this time and I decided...I would avoid the flat brush...and just use round brushes....and I hesitated....
and....I love my flat brush... I just wanted to try something different...
HOWEVER....
I just couldn't stick to it.....and I found myself drifting back to the flat brushes....and abandoning the round altogether.....I just....couldn't.... I still really love the way the flat brush layers color.
and here is the studio today....I was half inside...and half outside today...so the minimal is present...music....drink...paint...Burt's Bees lip gloss...the minimal....the M and M's (dark chocolate peanut, of course) were here too...but they...somehow...left the scene... somehow.
and after touching and re-touching...and layering...and applying bold puddles of color....
I have this....I'm sure I will play around with it a tiny bit more.... but
and so...here is today's lesson...ummmmmm....
so....cheers and here's to peace...love...and curves...and color....and laughter. :) and fun...and fluffy stuff...like clouds.
