This new 5×7 painting just left the easel.. Silver Gray – Timber Wolf, watercolor on board.
I have been fussing with this piece for some time… it’s been propped on various easels in my studio and my drafting table..looking at me..
When I get to a certain point in my work, I like to set the piece aside, for at least a day if not a week+ if I have the luxury, to see if there is anything that I can improve. This one, after a few months of that, convinced me that I was not at all satisfied with it. I grabbed a wet rag and wiped off at least 1/2 of the painting. …and started again.
This time, it is much better.
