Everyday in my VSC studio I did warm up paintings. I divide a full sheet of 300 lb cold press paper into 9 sections with tape. With watercolors and my 1 inch Skipper brush I play with shapes and colors. After painting a few sections the house image emerged so I explored that theme further.
When this sheet of paper is finished I cut the 9 images and pin those I like to one of my studio walls.
By the end of the month my wall looked like this.
This is a exercise I do daily. Sometimes it maybe the only painting I accomplish in the studio, but it is rewarding in many ways. This allows me to experiment freely with colors, shapes, line and composition. In the end I always discover something I want to explore further.
I use American Journey Watercolors from Cheap Joe's. This is a high quality paint available in 15 & 37 ml tubes. My painting style uses a lot of paint so I love the fact this brand offers large tubes. I promote this brand only because I like it - there is no monetary reward.
