This was my first go with my new pallet of Daniel Smith
Paints, Prima Tek’s. I painted this piece with a limited palette using Purpite
Genuine, Aurelian, New Gamboge and Sodalite Genuine. I know really weird names,
basically red, two yellows and a blue.
They were easy and fun to use and as you can see the mixture
of the blue and yellow really created a strong granulation yet watery. I didn’t really get the range of grays that I would get using
lets say Indigo and Alizarin. And I didn’t get to really use the full palette. I know I’m
kind of shy but hay this is a pretty much all-new color palette.
This is a soft and beautiful piece. Wanting to understand
the new palette I thought I would paint a familiar piece. A companion to this
one, “Blooming where planted.” I look forward to seeing them hung together.

The Artist Way
Although I haven't shared on a regular bases about my journey with The Artist Way. I have been journaling and taking artist dates. I am on week six "Recovering a sense of abundance" and I'll be a little honest. I had some real issues come up (in weeks 4 and 5) for me that made me slow down and really work through them. Hard core letting go . . . and I haven't been sketching I do some but not much so that needs to change.
I'm comfortable enough with myself that if I don't have the week completed it's okay to extend. After all I'm doing it for me.
Keeping the brushes wet,
Teresa
