Claudia McGill says: I remember getting up very early in the summer, when I was young, and seeing tiny white clouds in a sky still pink and pale from just having woken up itself, and I always knew a good day was coming.

I love the way that pink bleeds into the yellow in a smudgy way. It is definitely reminiscent of a cloud at dawn.
Overpainting the colors like this is a favorite thing of mine and I think it really can have good effect, often kind of unexpected. It outlines without outlining, if you know what I mean.
Yes, that makes complete sense. Still it takes skill to not just create mud where the colours meet and mix.
The thing I find to do is, work on more than one at a time, letting the others dry while working on the one. I had the mud problem until I tried this. Because I didn’t want to stop painting and I was in a hurry and so – MUD. Now, you see why a series works so well for me!
Very true. I’m sure my issue is trying to get too much done within a short allotment of time.
I know. I feel sometimes I am all but literally being dragged away from the paints and etc. Not so much now but in the past, oh yes, I know that feeling. The size ten foot trying to get into the size 6 shoe, that was me and time constraints!
