I especially love the Turner's Blue WC paper, & some of the laid book end papers; I have had sketchbooks bound with these papers and thus I have working volumes superior to anything I ever found commercially ... truly a joy to work on.Not Quite a Painting a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811055845021714071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-3393981381618667902015-07-31T08:41:52.006-07:002015-07-31T08:41:52.006-07:00Beautiful Erik!....great to have you posting again...Beautiful Erik!....great to have you posting again.Jared Shearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879406947140189516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-30950170810625963022015-04-24T22:15:54.420-07:002015-04-24T22:15:54.420-07:00Beautiful workBeautiful workMarcos Mateuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740828780483716922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-38399942032446037992015-02-13T01:34:15.706-08:002015-02-13T01:34:15.706-08:00Great to see your process in painting!

Do you think ahead a lot or is it so engrained into your perception by now that you basically see everything as layers in the finished painting already?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004038805262608310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-83755679721202001952014-09-18T09:37:27.191-07:002014-09-18T09:37:27.191-07:00I first heard of Ruscombe Mill a few years ago at ...I first heard of Ruscombe Mill a few years ago at a Tate Britain exhibit for which they did recreations of the watercolor papers used by Cox, Girtin and Turner. Their papers are fantastic and have unique handling qualities, that while not always easy for me to take advantage of, have made them a pleasure to use. <br /><br />It must have been great to see the mill in person. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your work on their paper!<br /><br />-MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-27984212023073699882014-08-17T00:23:19.409-07:002014-08-17T00:23:19.409-07:00Love the depth of colours you get, not washy or in...Love the depth of colours you get, not washy or insipid, more like oil !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964115746621145826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-62018127158018859432014-06-27T11:42:08.766-07:002014-06-27T11:42:08.766-07:00Fascinating Erik!

Those can take you a long way in achieving harmony in your sketches and paintings. I will also show how 'mud' can look rich and beautiful with subtle color temperature shifts within the mother color So much to cover.<br /><br />-ErikE.Tiemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352421860026525045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-1752032819568543402014-04-30T00:11:13.138-07:002014-04-30T00:11:13.138-07:00That watercolor painting of clouds with that pinki...That watercolor painting of clouds with that pinkish hue underneath is killer!

At the end of the painting session the wind started to shift and get a bit choppy where I was painting. At beach level the wind was strong all day, I was protected from the higher cliff above me, but then the direction changed a bit later.

Thank you for the feedback!<br />I will be teaching a workshop this May 3-4, 2014 in SF if you are nearby you may really enjoy that. Please visit my website for more info.
