sunburn memories
watercolor and pencil on arches coldpress paper, 16×20″. original sold. click image for prints.
Finished. below, the steps to completion and process shots. (I drink coffee in the “paint water” mug, and use the “not paint water” mug for paint water. This actually works and I haven’t drunk my paint water since- reverse psychology or something.)
sketch: very loose brushstrokes with pale, washed-out tones of sap green, sepia, and grey
underpainting: adding heavier pigment load to areas, dry brush spots on hair and eye
layers: fixing shadows, adding cool tones of indigo to shadowed areas, starting in on big washes behind everything.
detail: struggling with leaves, and with hand position on the fan. also gave her the sheer shirt I was planning

mandorlas
I prefer this shape to the commonly-seen circular mandala art. These are for clients, please don’t steal them/get them tattooed, ask your artist to draw one that’s different, just for you.

I don’t like magenta.
- In artwork, complaints, painting,
Right now I’m working on two things. One is a series of for paintings, each a hare. Each in a different season. The other thing is this dahlia in an antique jar next to a window.
Whenever I work with colors i don’t like, i end up working very slowly. I can’t sit there with them for very long. For example, the teapot i painted recently was all in subdued grey and reddish brown, and black. I love those colors so i finished that painting very quickly.
I don’t like magenta and it’s usually not in my palette and so this flower which should be very simple and already done has taken me extra days.
Knowing how I am about this, i can predict on advance that the winter and autumn hare will get painted first and quickly, and I’ll have a great time, then the spring hare will come next and be fun, but take a little bit longer, and the summer hare may feel like a neverending task, all that green! And take as long as the other three put together.
But it’s important that they all are done the way I’m imagining them, as a set, or i won’t be satisfied with them.
At least it won’t be a magenta hare.
