I like the heat. To me, it is inspirational. It evokes peaceful, lazy forests…flowers communing in golden sunlight…the music of insects. Most of these things I must simply imagine, for I live in a city where there is very little of Nature’s beauty. However, of an evening, I can hear the haunting song of the Crickets. And what a joy it is…and what vespertine beauty it paints in my imagination!
I am now working on a Watercolour of Tulips. I’ll try to show the work in progress, if I can. My computer overheats so it takes some time to get anything accomplished on him. =)
But here is a Watercolour secret that I have discovered. At least, it worked for me. Have you ever painted a watercolour on paper that was not previously wetted, with the result that your paper ended up buckled? Well, that is what happened to me. But I got the idea to gently wet the buckled area with a wet paper towel—-on the back, not on top of the painting. And it worked!
