This study was painted as preparation for a class
that I'm going to try to teach in Sapulpa, Oklahoma
at the Water Street Gallery, provided we have enough
people sign up for it. It'll be a drawing class
with some gouache thrown in for good measure.
This is a combination of both and it's painted on
a cardboard backing of an old pad of drawing paper.
The opaque water colors have a nice effect on this
kraft brown color but you have to work fast because
the surface absorbs a lot of water and it leaves little
room for blending.
