Garlic ‘n lime
Posted: August 27, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized 12 CommentsIn today’s sketch I used a technique I practice often in landscape painting but not too frequently when I paint a still life. My first wash (the warmish one) covers everything except the white areas that I want to save. The subsequent layers of paint, applied in glazes, are used to build up the mid-tones and darks. The hope, of course, is that that first warm wash will unify the sketch and that the garlic and lime will flavour a Mexican meal.
Simply perfect. And thanks for the technique explanation.
Simply thanks Tim!
Of course I love it!
And I know why you do!
How very beautiful Shari. I love that pop of green on the lime. The mood captured here is verging on sublime!
You are very kind Alison!
Mille fois merci, Shari, pour tout ce que tu nous transmets en beauté, en technique, en art, en gentillesse.
Te suivre quotidiennement est un grand plaisir, un stimulus pour peindre et un apprentissage.
J´ai presque honte d´être une spectatrice silencieuse.
You don’t know how much I appreciate your beautifully written comments Marisa. I hope you are well, wherever you are in Paris or Barcelona. xxoo
Hi Shari — this shows me how much I still do not know. I am ready any time to take another workshop with you — rain or shine -))) Simply magnificent!
Thanks Jane. We are all learning, all the time. With watercolour it is a neverending journey…
Thank you for the explanation to go along with the sketch. I really enjoy your teaching as much as the drawings themselves.
I really appreciate that Charlie.
