One Dancer Five Movements


14.5" x 23" watercolor

This study was painted using violet, green, blue and burnt umber. When using any painting medium, I always mix violets and greens. Lately I have been using pastels and have been giving serious thought to adding green and violet to my painting palette, easier thought about than done. What choices ...I don't trust color chits and the cost of the tubes puts me off experimenting.,,,wish they would sell dabs of this and a pinch of that.

Emma


15"x22" watercolor

This watercolor portrait was painted of a retired librarian and although I primarily chose the warm rose tones throughout the painting because she wore a pale pink polo shirt, her personality was also warm and friendly; then, again, it was a warm sunny summer's day.

Not for sale.
