Texture
Texture is addictive and so full of possibility. One cannot help but adore it.
I'm still working on tissue and gesso with watercolour washes and am preparing a snapshot of different pastes and gels and how they behave for an upcoming workshop. I splurged today and ordered some more to add to some of the basic ones I already have and look forward to seeing what I can produce with them.
This is a piece called 'Laundry Day'. I love the look of an unmade bed, all those wrinkles, dark corners and mounds. Making a bed, well that's another story, one of those chores that have to be done without a lot of thinking.
I have a painting in mind for an unmade bed and need just the right light to make it happen, hopefully this weekend.

Don't you just love working on a textured surface? Pieces practically paint themselves.
I love these new pieces you are working on....such a rich surface
