Recent Painting: Lion of Atlanta in Oakland Cemetery
I did this watercolor early in the morning about a week ago at Oakland Cemetery. Finding a shady spot in which to work was a challenge and forced me to work from a radical viewpoint, which made for some dramatic foreshortening. Overall, I was pleased with the result.
Materials and Technique
I used Arches 140# Rough paper from a 12 x 16 block.
My palette was:
- Raw sienna
- Burnt sienna
- Cobalt blue
- Ultramarine violet
- Thalo turquoise
- New Gamboge
