Doing a Pour Part One
You will remember awhile back I put together a nice value study based on Deb Ward's photo in a quilt shop? Then I worked on it with watercolor and gouache with moderate success and it's not really done. But inspired by a short Jean Grastorf video today. I decided to try the same picture with a pour. Just for fun. I do have her book Pouring Light and I need to go back and really read it well. But I was just fooling around today. Fooling around without really reading directions can be dangerous (and foolhardy). I re-traced the value sketch on 140# cold press and then masked in the lights (or most of them). I knew that I should be stretching the paper. I KNOW that. But I get impatient...ya know?
