BURNT UMBER

Burnt Umber, again! I have now accidentally painted both Burnt Umber and Raw Umber Violet twice. Burnt Umber is
semi-transparent, but that can also mean semi-opaque and that is what I found here. It is low-staining though, and I was able to lift areas in the dark patches that got dense. How now, brown cow? This poor guy was covered with flies, makes me want to blink.
And, I have run out of granulating  watercolors. My original challenge was to use all my granulators in test swatches and quick sketches. While the intention has morphed a bit, the habit is well ingrained 78 days in. I plan to continue my daily practice, challenging myself in new ways. There are a couple of new tubes of paint on my work table, and I can't resist test driving them, that will fill the next few days. 
Next up . . .
 . . . I have been wondering about the grays and blacks I have in my  collection of pigments, and rarely use since I mix my dark neutrals. What does one do with a tube of gray paint??? Well, let's just see!

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
