Assisi Washday

6.5x7 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper by Daler Rowney done today in under 2 hours.  As part of a timed painting event on WetCanvas, participants have a couple of hours to select an image then paint and post (courtesy barryT/reference image library). I cropped the bottom half of the vertical photo to make a horizontal view and focus on the laundry drying.  The foreground had many more flowers and a stone walkway.

Clothes Call WIP

6x16 watercolor work in progress on partially gessoed matboard.  The first image shows my pencil drawing of 5 shirts hanging on a clothesline.  The second shows blue background sky painted with cobalt, prussian, and ultramarine blue and when dry black center tee shirt and turquoise were added.  The third image is far right yellow longsleeved shirt with white daisies and peachy keen and black added to center design on the others.  Stay tuned for the final reveal tomorrow!
