Picture
I painted this one sitting on a hill over-looking False Creek. It was a weird experience for me because I had never painted out doors before. I imagine it would be easy to paint oil outside but watercolour was hard. The picture kept drying out too soon, it was difficult to keep a level surface, and the lighting kept changing. After several attempts, I finally managed to produce something I thought was okay. I have tried painting outdoors since then but it's conditions are always different and I'm not sure I've ever managed to master the technique. This painting was done using 'opaquing' and 'dry-brushing' which are easier to do outside than my usual technique of 'wet-in-wet'. The wet-in-wet technique depends on the paper staying soaked and flat, both harder to achieve outside.

    I have no idea how to write blogs so I just write about wacky thoughts that run through my mind and leave a bit of a residue behind.
