Communion - A Work in Progress
Today I wanted to do a little the more work on this painting to at least get the decanters finished (see posts on 09 May, 18 July, 02, 09, 19 and 23 August 2016).
Now it was time to start painting in the wine to complete the first decanter.
Using mixtures of new gamboge, alizarin crimson, raw sienna, burnt sienna and French ultramarine blue I started below the front edge of the wine in the darkest area and as I worked down toward the bottom of the decanter the colour lightened slightly and become more dark amber and the areas of reflected colour from the plate and a few reflections from the lights were left untouched.
With a slightly more red mix the top surface of the wine was painted in leaving areas of colour where the plate and lights were reflected onto the surface. The area to the left side had only a pale wash of alizarin crimson on it with a few spots of pure white showing the reflections from the lights and the silver goblet.
Now that the wine decanter was completed it was time to take a break and I will post this painting again once I start on the water decanter.
I would like to thank long time collector Mme. Cecile Desrochers of Ste-Ramon, Quebec on her purchase of Dixon Cove Wreck I and II (see posts on 23 April, 22 July and 27 November 2012).
Thank you for looking at my artwork.

ACEO - Foggy Day 4
I wanted to complete this painting that I have been working on for the last couple of months (see posts on 12 June 2016 and 03 July 2016).
With a pale mixture of French ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson I painted in the very distant trees keeping the colour muted.
I added a little more of the blue to the mix to darken the colour slightly and put in the next row of trees.
More blue was added to the mix and a little raw sienna and it was painted in with more detail and at the bottom for the tree grasses were put in with negative painting.
The mixture was darkened once more with blue and the largest pine was painted in with even more details on the branches and needles.
Again the grasses were again painted in the negative.
I painted the water into the foreground with a mix of raw sienna and new gamboge and left some areas of the background colour showing.
Then I put in a few streaks of the dark mixture in the water for tree reflections.
Lastly, with a pale wash of burnt sienna I painted the rock.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 90lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Beach Scenes - Four Works in Progress
Today I thought I would like to work on some of the scenes from the Caribbean.
I pulled out three drawings from Aruba (see post on 16 September 2013) and one from Roatan (see post from 08 April 2015).
Along the Shore 1
I thought that I would work on all four pieces at the same time starting with the sand.
Along the Shore 2
I used raw sienna in various strengths for the sand on the beaches leaving some areas of white paper by the shore for the froth from the waves.
Along the Shore 3
Using Antwerp blue in the sky I brush in the sky and then added in a little of the raw sienna for the water, leaving some areas white for the froth on the beach and for a few white caps.
Caribbean Shore 1
I will post each of these paintings at a later date as more work on them is completed.

Desert Sunrise 1-3 - Three Works in Progress
Today I was thinking about when we went to Nevada for a vacation a number of years ago and thought I would like to paint a few desert scenes at sunrise perhaps as a small triptych.
I decided to work on all three pieces at the same time, beginning with the sky and using various mixtures of French ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson as I worked down toward the bottom of the paper.
I lightly drew in the horizon line and added some mountain ranges in the distance and a large rock race in the foreground on each of the paintings.
Desert Sunrise 1
On the first one I put in some of the desert sand with a mixture of burnt sienna and raw sienna. I may change the colour of the sand slightly in each of the three paintings, depending on how they appear against the foreground rocks.
I started painting the closer rocks using various combinations of French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, raw sienna and alizarin crimson.
Desert Sunrise 2
Before I could complete the foreground rocks on the third painting I had unexpected company drop by and had to put everything away.
I will post each of these painting at a later date as more work on them is completed.

Forest Stream 1 - A Work in Progress
Today I worked on this painting that I worked on earlier this month (see posts on 13 February 2012, 13 March and 13 August 2016).
I wanted to finish all the background trees. As usual I started working from the furthest back trees to the closest ones using various mixtures if French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and raw sienna.
Once the treea were completed I put in some grasses and growies that were still above the snow into the background with raw sienna, burnt sienna and alizarin crimson.
Next I added a few leaves onto the trees that are often seen still clinging valiantly to their place on the tree branches, refusing to leave until pushed out by the new spring growth or eaten by hungry squirrels.
I will post this painting at a later date once I have painted in the stream.
