i used the autumnal palettes i "discovered" on colourlovers.com to paint some paisleys. what i learned:- if you don't gesso your canvas, you get a lovely canvassy texture on your background
- if you don't use your paint in say a year, some colors may be dried up and unusable
- if you don't have an adequate variety of paint colors, the colors you blend will be remarkably uniform
- make sure your overlaid color is significantly different in shade intensity than your background color
- i still love drawing paisleys
- a painting can be a color sketch
how about some washcloths to consume some stoplight time? i have always liked that basic washcloth recipe, illustrated by the green one with the blue stripe. the center corners always buckle on me, however. this time, i just put a little set of short rows in each corner, and voila! no buckling!
your washcloth hint for the day. you're welcome.ツ
