Colour mixing

Mixing a dark moody grey from ultramarine blue, red, yellow and white acrylics only; it’s not as easy as it looks.

Experimentation

Experimenting with colour and marks, I love this section of the painting.

Hide-in-the-shed-and-create-time

Friday afternoon! Phew. Much needed creative time. Today I printed some beautiful collage papers for my next painting, including sewing pattern paper gifted from @thatcanadiangirl (#thankyou), it’s really strong stuff even when wet. Excited for what comes next…

Sizzling sunflowers

Friday afternoon’s collaging; the sunflowers are growing. Children’s story Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne (2yo’s book of the moment) is influencing the colours in this painting. I love!
