Here it is! The first of 365 paintings. This one is a watercolor titled "Storm root". Took about 2 hours. I did not know what to paint so I just put brush to paper. I used to do paintings like this to practice; using a t-square to guide the brush. Had to use a piece of wood this time. Took awhile to get started. And the room is 42 deg so my hands got a bit cold. I put up a tent, covered it in a blanket and placed a space heater in it. It warmed up to 70 deg almost instantly. I used it twice to warm up while painting. Also, the paint dries a lot slower in the cold. This gives you more time to work at blending colors into one another.Friday, January 1, 2010
