I'm so not a palette mixer. It's just not my artistic nature. I like order and calmness in my daily life, and I like chaos and spontaneity in my painting life.

He too lives for flyfishing and painting and enjoying life. I have a link to his stuff right above you on my blog.(Rick must have studied him)<br /> Great to see you back in action and I love the primaries theory. That's all I use; 3 on the warm side and 3 on the cool. There's real excitement in subtle mixing. Did I mention it's great to see you back:))brian eppleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303309396470697389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-45517707676405395062011-01-25T16:34:31.689-05:002011-01-25T16:34:31.689-05:00Hi Casey, I wonder why his enemy is the white canv...Hi Casey, I wonder why his enemy is the white canvas? He seems to quietly approach it (in the video), interesting. Glad you enjoyed the little RC nibble.<br /><br />Hi Maggie, I am curious why gouache instead of chinese white? Are they that dissimilar? Right now my paper is flat and bedside but when i work outdoor with watercolor (under pastel) it is usually upright. Every day I am a little better. It will require more patience to get back though.Time.<br /><br />Hi Astrid, Glad you enjoyed your introduction to Russell Chatham.<br /><br />Hi Caroline, I am glad you enjoyed it...it made me think. Always a good thing.

I often use it watered down on the paper (especially good on coloured papers or craft papers) first, let it dry and then go in with various watercolour washes on top. Makes things really interesting if you leave areas that are just paper. Turner used this technique and it is known as 'body colour'. I also like mixing perm white gouache with my watercolours. It is different from using pure gouache that can get heavy and chalky. Try working both flat and to an upright easel.... different affects...both really nice.

You've demonstrated that in all of the watercolor underpaintings you've posted. <br /><br />We're outta here tomorrow a.m. and on the road. I'll be in touch along the way. I hope your recovery continues on a positive pace. Don't push it and just let it happen.<br />Hope the Doc thinks you're doing well when you see him.<br /><br />Hey, I lost your address from the package you sent me ... ok, I know, get your stuff together. I'm going to send out some watercolor cards if you feel like leaving your address on my email.<br /><br />Hugs coming your way,<br />pbDouble "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.com
