Worked on another of these smaller works on paper tonight- this one the 9 1/2 “ x 7” size- and put some finishing touches on the other one previously posted. Interesting to play with the colors— obviously there is something very different to the eye in seeing a mirror image that doesn’t have the same color tones (as in the first); but I think this might cause a moment’s pause which might be good on some cases for this series.
Rather than use strict watercolors (I generally favor the Koi brand), I used some scrap booking paint tonight— diluted down to varying levels with water— to play with the transparency of the paint and the images below. Also, I experimented with this second paper piece with going back over some of the image after it was painted with pen and ink again.
2 very similar approaches— in smaller works on paper with pen and ink and similar subject matter— but I find myself using these smaller works to experiment with some techniques for the larger canvases.
The other pic is the front of the Midway Studios building. Had my camera with me for a walk today, and have been wanting to post this— so here it is.
