I Thought It Was Supposed To Be Summer?

I think this painting wins the longest title competition, in my current body of work at least. The image is intended to represent the currently underwhelming June weather we are experiencing here in London.

Painted on an A4 sheet of watercolour paper using Cadmium Yellow and Ultramarine Blue paint in varying strengths, and with varying amounts of water on the paper. I used an empty biro tube for the blown effects.

I will leave this piece of art (unframed) in Wallington as part of my ongoing art drop experiment.

Second Yellow

My second yellow canvas today, this photo was taken in bright sunlight, making the differences in shade a little hard to see. Just like when I painted Scrambled Eggs earlier today, I’m unsure whether or not to return to this work later to add more colour.

Scrambled Eggs

It’s a sunny Sunday and having spent time doing painting of the DIY kind this morning, I’m about to go outside into the garden and do some weeding. Before heading out I thought I’d paint something in yellow, a colour I don’t use much. My initial thought was to add some purple over the top of this but now I see it in the sun, I’m not so sure. Maybe I’ll make another later and experiment with purple on that one.
