(4x6)
Just a little practicing ... I love the neutral color of the trunks: I started with a light wash of yellow, added a bit of a cool, transparent red; then a touch of cerulean, and mixed it together just a bit.
I've spent most of the year reading World War I histories--
The War That Ended Peace and
To End All Wars (still have
Catastrophe 1914 and
Sleepwalkers to read!)--a depressing thing to do; it makes you very sad for humankind. Today's a day for remembrance.
The evergreen is so fluid. Isn't it freeing to practice without having to worry about composition.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful washes and I love the touches of blue in the tree, so lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou've given yourself a rough reading ride. It does make you sad for humankind. But then there's your work, which makes us happy -- surely part of the point of art -- lift us up again.
