Last Painting of the Year


Sleeper
Watercolor on Masa Paper, 7.5x10"


The last painting of the year is a watercolor. This was done in the last hour of our Saturday session. I haven't done much figure work with watercolor this year. The reason there is a watercolor now is that we had a model today on New Year's Eve for one session only. Not enough time for a 16x20" sized linen panel that I usually work with. So watercolor was the choice for today. I also reverted to a palette that I had put aside for some new quinacridones. The quinacridones didn't provide the variety of opacity and granulation that I like so I came back to my old friends. I am much happier for it. 

The second to the last watercolor of the year will be posted tomorrow or Monday. The family is coming tomorrow for a New Year's Day gathering. So I may be too busy to post.

In the meantime: A Happy, Healthy, Loving, and Prosperous New Year to all.
