Today I started painting in oil. I tried to set the values (a fancy word for light and dark) in the painting. Pretty much blocked in general areas. More detail work will follow tomorrow.
I like the abstract quality of the buildings in this painting. Can't wait to see the progression. Thanks for following my blog and the kind comment on my portrait.
Watercolor was my first love.
I used to bring in a small watercolor set and paint in my car during my break.
And painted local scenery for over ten years.
There were times when I painted watercolor en plein air and sold my work to morning joggers, lunch time pass-byers and evening walkers everyday.
Then switched to oil and painted about ten years.
Now I'm back to watercolor and still love it.
It's like an old friend who greets me after all these years, warm, cheerful, spontaneous and surprising!
