Brush Creek Art Walk - Theis Park quick paint
Purchase Information

For the quick paint at Theis Park today, I decided to try a new paper, mounted on birch - and my watercolors!  I almost always use my oils in a quick paint, I am so comfortable with them.  Why not change things up, throw in a curve ball for the competition?  Well, I may be crazy, but it was fun!  This paper was interesting, too - it has a large, dimple like pattern all over it.  I think I may have gotten carried away with the color again, but you only live once (as my children tell me)!  On Tuesday, I will glaze over this with my Golden regular gel gloss medium, as a final layer.  This will seal the surface, thus eliminating the need for glass.  This is painting number 623 in 623 days and Day 13 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge.
