So, someone recently asked what do artists do when they feel in a slump. I go to a different medium that challenges me but also one where I don't have great expectations. That way I'm learning without feeling pressured. So, did these watercolor figures in my life drawing group.
Absolutely beautiful. I love the poses!!!!

ReplyDelete"Slump" now & again, Aline. And I really like your remedy! Normally I use pastels, but I'll play around with my watercolor & gauche sets. This will help me use them for underpaintings, too. I guess. Everyone says wet underpainting is where it's at for pastels, but I'm too lazy--& impatient. Then again, if my watercolors are truly awful, I'll be happy I can cover them up with pastel. I like your watercolor figures, Aline! I especially like it when you note the length of the pose. You really are terrific at the shortest poses! I'm really impressed by your 'preserved
highlights'--that's hard to do.All of these are great.
