Once more into the art shop
Some dramatic light and shade on the hills made me realise what a visually interesting time of year this is. Thus inspired I ventured into the art shop in town and bought a tube of artist's quality Winsor Green (yellow shade). I was after just Winsor Green but it wasn't available, so I'll see what happens when I start mixing colour. I read recently that it makes a good base for a travel kit when outdoor painting and I really am trying to restrict my palette. I seem to remember about twenty-odd years ago I read that James Fletcher-Watson, a watercolourist, used Winsor Blue and I bought a half-pan at the time and enjoyed using it. It made very intense darks when combined with burnt umber. This afternoon I worked on the Morlan exhibition pictures, I shall post them in due course...
