1:31 PM: tricky day: a 6:45 am trail walk, arrived at the studio 10:30, all kinds of logistics…arranging appointments for our denver trip….and finally, resumed work on watercolor 99. or should it be called watercolor almost 100? the changes are all to the rock and water forms in the middle and on the bottom portion of the composition. i wouldn’t dare touch any of the rest of this watercolor, which emerged yesterday in one breath. the marks indicating leaves were the biggest discovery, i’d say. they are a new way of making leaf shapes which may not be immediately obvious to you. but if you go back and look at how they were made in previous watercolors, you’ll see what i mean.
yesterdays version is BELOW left; todays on the right.
