This was a challenging piece for me.  The technique is what challenged me.  It's called wet on wet.  With this particular watercolor technique the artist loses more control of the paint because its movement is truly controlled by the direction of the water.  So wet on wet is considered to be a more difficult technique because of this.  Its best to just let the water and paint do it's 'magical' thing'!

Watercolors

As you can see, my painting style changed with this painting - and I love it!  It is more loose and the colors are more muted than what I usually do.  Its a style I think I will continue.

Oil Pastels 
(with a Watercolor Undercoat)
(on Sennelier watercolor paper - 140 lb)

5x7
2014



I have never ever used oil pastels before.  I found them to be 'fun'.  I first did one gloss of a water color under painting of the flower and then finished it up with oil pastels.  They went on easily because of the oil in the pastel piece.  They did not make me think of my pastel drawings at all.  It was fun.
