Yesterday's easel..."The Light", (13 X 18) watercolor on cold pressed Arches 140# paper. After a quick pencil sketch decided to go totally B&W. Mixed greys and blacks using Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna and Cad Red. Started with very watery washes, dropping in darker passages as the paper dried. Left the water and the paper to their own magic., dropping in darker passages as the paper dried. Have also been experimenting using a very flexible palette knife with watercolor. Interesting effects.   Your thoughts?
