Big heat wave here ... Which makes my upstairs, where I paint, intolerable. Heat also isn't my best mode. Not watercolor's either, I guess!
I just got a new brush: a Winsor & Newton synthetic mop, which is the one plein air painter James Potter uses. You can see his videos, free, on YouTube.
I made up this scene--but it's Scotland!--judt to drag the brush across the page. I like it: very soft for a synthetic.
Also got this one, but haven't tried it yet
I have such a pile of paintings: the space between my flat file and the counter is jammed. The flat file is full too!
I always sell well at the two local shows I participate in in summer/ fall ... But it's not enough. It's really difficult to get the paintings in front of the people who'd be inclined to buy them!
The backlog is starting to feel oppressive.
