Under the Influence of the Ol'Alvaro
There is so much fuss about the big two in the cyber-waterworld that a person (namely me) can't help but be influenced. I like Castagnet's ideas about deep, rich colour. But I also like some of the traditional breeziness that is possible with watercolour. Who knows? This is a full sheet of Arches cold press and W/N paints. Oh and I painted this with some kind of synthetic no. 36 brush that is huge...

Sumptuous watercolour!
Looking through the blog there are many stunning paintings.
So impressed that I am now a follower :)
I just popped in for a little "Ron fix" while I am traveling in Venice. Hope to have more time when I get back to see what you've been doing! Ciao!!
Ron,I Just love the various of colours that you combined to this painting...To me, they give a pretty feel...You have very talent about colours...As for me, I would not be brave to use the colours in this way
becuase i would do it be muddy:(
Brilliant as usual Ron. Am impressed with the size of this one. I wish it was as simple as you make it to be.
Thanks, Pat, sumptuous is good...
Thanks, Joan, Venice eh?
Thanks, Nureeya, its funny but as you paint more you can get away with mixing all sorts of "mudders"...
Thankis, Asit, most of my paintings are full sheet...
Love it Ron - beautiful colors - as always.
Thanks, Cara, just foolin around...
