Media: Watercolor
Size: 7x5 in
I worked on this study of a tree while I was having the brakes repaired
on my car. I don't like sitting around in the waiting room mindlessly
watching television, so whenever I have my car worked on I bring my
watercolor supplies with me. I handed my keys to the mechanic and
immediately bolted out the door to look for something to make a painting
from.This tree was on a walking path not too far from the shop. I began
sketching it with a micron pen, and once I was happy with the drawing I
used a brush pen to thicken up up some of the lines. When I added the water to the drawing the ink began to run a little bit
but I think that made it look more interesting. I started with the color
of the sky and when that was dry I added the color of the branches.
A few runners and walkers passed by me while I was working on this painting. They probably thought I was nuts, most people don't encounter artists drawing outside. I once had someone ask me if I was taking a survey. I think it's because I'm holding a board and it looks like I'm writing things down. This happened at Canandaigua Lake and I jokingly said "Yes, I'm counting how many boats are out on the lake today!".
