Boardwalk Days part 53
Nothing else I had to do today, so back to work on this boardwalk print. Predicted weather for today called for a lot of rain, but what I saw was fairly light. Didn't even need full strength wipers- intermittent wipers would do fine. Hmmm... this was a good day to listen to the Wipers as I worked, and I had the appropriate book of discs with me. The gray skies and dampness did make it seem to be a good day to listen to this band from Portland, Oregon, a disc I made to bring to Texas, now part of my Studio collection, and written about many times, such as July of 2019 on this blog. Plenty of parking in the main lot.
Of course, dry inside the Studio. Brought my watercolors in from the car, cleared off my table, and took my finished practice piece off the wall. Today I was working on grays and browns which make up many parts of the image, and matched up the values with the previous example. But I got all that done while the music played. Results can be seen below:
I figure two or three more sessions should do it. What I have left is the cool colors, and the intense and dark colors. I know I have the watercolors, as I did a practice copy before. I have no immediate plans for exhibiting this print, so I likely won't print and color another one next, but rather start something new when this one is finished.
But today, the music finished, so I packed up, put everything back where it had been, loaded my car, and went home. Not much rain on the way home, but I didn't mind.
