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
The backlog is starting to feel oppressive.
just noticed this text;

How nice is taht, but how weird of me to notice it just now.
Heatwave, ... what's a heatwave now a days?!
Where the weathercards used to be yellow or orange they are now at the same temps deep red or even scoarching black.
Overhere it's war as well you have to pull your watercolor brushes very quick from the paper otherwise they are almost glued too it.
War = warm btw.
ReplyDeleteAltho, ... living in Europe we're getting there Im afraid.
You're right about the "heatwave"-- it never really goes away!
