A creek turning and twisting always has my attention. I love the way it moves through the landscape, calling me to it's edge. This time, I lay my darks in first. Working in the golden hour means quickly changing light, so I hold off on the sky until it shows the color I know is coming. I wish I'd replaced the Off clip on I lost in another creek, because the bugs are coming out! A few of my paints are getting sticky, I'll have to reload in the morning. Whatever ultramarine blue I loaded last time, I'm not crazy about it. It seems a little thinner than my Windsor Newton, and it is not as strong in the mix. For a color I use a lot, it needs to be very pigmented. I think I'm finished, but I'll check tomorrow in full daylight to be sure. Painting number 2039 in 2039 days.
