It’s slow going now, but I am working on this latest painting of the New Mexico lady in the Arizona Landscape.
The more I work on this, the more I love it. Today I worked on the Cactus in the foreground. It seems like it is slow going, because I have to be patient with it, and wait for paper and paint to dry, before layering and glazing another color over the same area.
Her hair has come out so soft looking. One color I never thought would work, but took a risk with, was Indian Red. I got to thinking about all the colors around her, and what colors might be bouncing onto and off of her hair. So over the darks in her hair, and places I had lifted color out, I glazed the Indian Red over it all. WOW! What a great move that was! Can you tell I am very pleased with it?
This painting is almost square, at 22 x 19 Inches. And painted on 300lb Arches Watercolor painting.
Want to know what I do, when I’m waiting for paint and paper to dry????
I start another painting! This is a small section of a larger painting. I started on the Cowgirl boots first. I just loved them when I saw them! I think you’ll be liking this painting a lot too. The subject matter is going to be very fun!
Have a great weekend!
