<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Uploading the <b>next in the series</b>...short blurb: what grabs me here is the initial bottle outline: see if you can't see the dioxazine purple / black <b>outline of the bottle</b>. Basically just a rough silhouette. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After that was</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> laid down (and this over the pencil -- ha! if I even did a pencil outline!) Quite frankly I think just laid down the paint silhouette on this batch and painted in the other colors from there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And just for fun, see if you cant see little blazes of orange <b>undercoat </b>coming through the mostly dominant blue of this painting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, here's <b>wine bottle # 6 from 21 July</b> ( sealed in UV proof acrylic varnish) , which gives these acrylics a oil paint sheen. Talk soon! </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Observe: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">August 10 2017 - Painting in Batches</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">OK! Its been so long! Two years+ of more interruptions than you can shake a wet brush at. BUT, I'm back. #!$%#$%. Sorry about the verbiage. Here's the program: Batch painting. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recipe: Divide up an 18 by 24 inch Arches cold pressed 140 # sheet of watercolor paper in to 6 x 9 sections. Makes 8 paintings (that's cart before horse...it makes <b>eight 6x9 rectangles</b>). But before you divide it up, drop on a large pool of <b>white gesso</b>. Take a cardboard with a strong edge, butter knife that glob of gesso all over the paper. Forget about making it even. The more texture, the better. (See Bob Burridge for mastering this :-)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">THEN toss down in this case Golden pyrrole <b>Orange </b>( as in pyro, as in pyromaniac), or any color you like as an undercoating. Take a wet handiwipe crumpled up, and spread that beautiful orange all over.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let dry. <b>Pencil in bottle outlines</b>, a horizon line or table edge. Pick your <b>color scheme</b>. Pick the <b>direction </b>of your <b>light</b>, accentuate the <b>shadow </b>areas. loosely lay down basic colors shapes, ( shadows highlights). Let dry. Repeat. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this second layer of painting (and in the first for that matter) remember: <b>your paint brush has two painting ends</b>. You can <b>gouge </b>awesome little spontaneous marks / <b>scratches </b>into your paper: what will show through is that awesome orange or any other color you but down first. Sweet. let it dry. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Go play your guitar, piano, go for a walk, eat...return and let it strike you what these 8 individual paintings need: apply it. Seems close to finishing? Stop. Consider it done. Time for the next 8. That's one branch of the program here folks :-) <b>Here's what you get: </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Outback 1 and 2 </span></h2>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Getting a feel for the grab bag of John Lovett's techniques, really trying to carry the eye up to the focus with light washes, scratchy charcoal lines with ink coming together with the strongest contrast between lights and darks and between complementary colors. Suggestions only of ravines, fences, sagebrush, keep the imagination engaged. The flat blue gouache of the sky nicely sets off the orange and red roofs. And promotes a little of that dry, desert feeling of the Australian outback.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I tried a white roof in the Outback 2 to connect a little more of the lower part of the picture whiteness with the upper, and with a small rectangle of white gesso as well: keeps the imagination guessing what this might be. Proportion is minimized in both paintings. (The blue margin of the sky and the lower left hand shadow in outback 2 is somewhat distorted by the photographic technique - the lower left corner is actually very white in Outback 2.) Dimensions listed are of the outer edge of the Arches 140 cold pressed paper. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Old trucks! Everyone paints em :-) Wanted to take it out of the typical sunk-in-the-mud-off-in-the-field setting. Give it a Joe Sbukvic styled cityscape where you tip the paper up as you let the background pigment flow down the paper taking it's own pathway down. Add a few marks that might pass for balconies, a little white gesso that might pass for windows ands spread a little more interest into the upper right side of the picture. For me it was my first attempt at this type of background: and it really works! And it wasn't that hard. Very gratifying. Will incorporate this more.</span></span></span><br />

Dividing up the paper -- Arches 140 lb cold pressed -- into equal sections and pretty much painting them all at the same time. I find this way I don't get hung up on getting one "just right". I love bright colors (because well, I have trouble seeing close shades) I also enjoy getting a feeling of 3 dimensions. I waste less paint this way too. This is <b>acrylic</b>, <b>6 x 18 inches</b>, unframed with collage, <b>on 140 cold pressed Arches paper</b> that's gessoed and primed before any painting begins. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Each picture seems to have a "sweet spot" for pasting in black and white <b>collage</b> pieces. I make those up in a draw program or just Photoshop and print them out on the home printer in B and W. Keeping a true black in the picture also ensures a range of tones. Without a true black the picture can get a little weak. Need that contrast :-) Anyway, see the previous couple blogs for more notes on these. (ie the "<b>Groovy Flower Pot series</b>".) Till next time! </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I actually am doing these in a <b>series</b>: start with 18 x 24 inch Arches #140 lb cold pressed water color paper, gesso it, let it dry. Once dry slap on and loosely spread Pyrrole orange. let dry. Divide paper evenly into 4 parts vertically (narrow and tall). Loosely paint an outline usually in white gesso, layer on small collage pieces. Follow a working color combination, work all 4 paintings at a time ( in fact I had two sheets of arches with 4 paintings each going at at time here). THEN, negative paint until we got a ...Groovy Flower Pot :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I follow the Burridge motto of "try to make something I've never seem before". So even though they're all similar, they'll all be very individual...as you'll see if you're following here. My favorite part of doing this painting is throwing on the watered down gesso at the very end. (final layer.)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also must say even though these are loose, it's not at the expense of relying on developed drawing skills: look at the imagined vanishing point both at the ellipse at the top and at the base. (speaking of drawing, you might pick up some skills ay another of my websites here: http://www.youcandraw.com/ )</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Smoky Farm Fields</b>. Watercolor and gouache with Derwent water </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">soluble pencil, charcoal pencil. Painted on Arches 140 lb cold </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">press paper, 12 and 1/8 x 16 and 1/8 inch. There is a 3/4 inch white border </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">around the entire page. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fun parts of painting this: using another fantastic John Lovett </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">technique of using an old fashioned dip <b>fountain pen</b>, loaded with </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">burnt sienna <b>ink</b>, then before it drys using a fine water spray and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">watching it just do whatever it wants in the most amazing ways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Works especially well for getting that old weathered look on walls,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">buildings and boats. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But of course the obvious center stage trick</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">here is the blue snow blasts or rain blasts or leaves, I still can't</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">figure out what they are -- I just love the effect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>How to do it? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mix a tiny bit of ultramarine blue or phthalo blue in either gouache </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">or gesso, add enough water then let the drops fly on your paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">by carefully aiming on (or not) where you might like them. You </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">can then tease them around with a rough old glue brush, or </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">spray water directly at a part of them or around and let water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and time do the rest. Awesome technique. Thank you </span><br />

Though this is right out of the imagination you can see his influence in this series. Bright colors and composition are struggles for me (I'm colorblind - bright colors help) and so getting carried away by "bob-land" techniques makes each painting, well, an adventure. Learning that with acrylics you have so many options - like letting the painting dry and go back - teaches me to let go and let the process take over. A big step :-) </span><span style="clear: left; color: #555555; float: left; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></span><span style="clear: left; color: #555555; float: left; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></span><br />
