ge1836's blog: Thee Blue Iris

Posted on Nov 4, 2015 9:17 AM

Iris forum thread pricked my imagination so I am starting a new iris painting idea I have been mulling over in my mind.
I begin by drawing the flower outlines with blue Crayola crayons. It acts as a resist.

I paint the shapes with water.

Then add drops of paint. This will dry overnight. The water and paint continue to move and blend while drying takes place.

It's Feb 10th I havnt been in the studio since December.
The above started painting is still waiting. I have the itch to paint but bursitis attack is keeping me out of the studio cause once I get down the stairs I cant cet back up.
