Miami Beach & New Years wishes
Posted: December 31, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 CommentsHappy New Year and a healthy 2012 to everyone!
I just returned from a week in Miami Beach and have some new sketches to post. It was great to be drawing outside instead of in my car! I could actually move my elbows while painting. But I forgot how everything dries so fast in the heat. If you put a clear wash down and then expect to drop colour into it, forget it! The wash is dry before you can get the colour on your brush. Plus I had to mostly put away the cool blues in my palette and use the warm ones. So I used up lots of cerulean and manganese but not so much cobalt or ultramarine. Except in these beach umbrellas…
Happy New Year to you too Shari :: your paintings are gorgeous ;-)))
Thanks Jane! All the best to you!
oh man. all this Miami is making winter look like a long hard slog.aieee!
It was hard for us too when we got back to no heat in the house! Six degrees in here and -19 outside. The memories of Miami heat disappeared pretty quickly!
