| WIP - "Tea with Lemon" 6.5" x 11" |
So here's the updated version of this work in progress as promised. The differences from yesterday's post are very subtle, but I put some neutralizing washes over some of the brighter underpainting. I also took the mask off the designs on the edge of the cup. I still have some work left, but it's getting there. I hope to have more paintings done and posted for next week. Like I mentioned yesterday, my schedule's been a little hectic and I'm very anxious to get back in the studio full time again.
One last thing . . . I took the following photo last Friday when my 87 year-old grandmother came over and I thought I'd share it with you. This was her first time painting with watercolor but I think she's catching the "watercolor fever" so I'm excited to do some more painting with her. I think she's awesome! :)

ReplyDeleteThe subtle glazing definitely show through -- the colors are more harmonious after these glazes! In this version there is more glowing effect that comes with glazing. I just don't know how you manage to do it on fabriano! :-P It's a myth to me...
ReplyDeleteI am curious about the very nice grey you put on the tea cup -- is it a mixed grey? What did you use to get that? Thanks!
Good grief Arena -- Did I ever reply to your question? I can't remember. I'm going through some old posts, trying to respond to everyone. With regards to the grey -- I can't really remember -- definitely there is burnt sienna in there -- maybe either cobalt or ultramarine. That's probably it though -- no other colors I don't think.
