What's brown and sticky? A stick.
That is one of my favourite jokes. Sad, eh?
Hopefully by the time you read this I will be in Canada and recovered from my pneumonia (I'm posting ahead).
I thought I'd show you my strategy for painting everyday (even when I've got other stuff I must do). A while back I was complaining about how difficult it is to paint regularly and meet all my other commitments.
Well, now I have arranged things so that I have a reduced painting kit that I can leave out all the time - or take with me. Basically it includes a tin palette of 26 watecolours with mixing areas, a tube of white gouche, coloured pencils, two jars or water, a small spray bottle, three of my favourite brushes and a postcard size block of watercolour papers.
I leave it out all the time and paint every day now. I'm just painting abstractly but it keeps my hand in.
Here are the sort of paintings I make daily.
Since a lot of my interest in painting comes from playing with the properties of my materials, this is a useful way to keep at it everyday. I hope to complete some larger paintings this summer as well.
