Nearly done, time for a break

Painting A Peregrine

May 26, 2017

I documented my painting process for Instagram and Twitter, but never put it up on here.  I paint in watercolor, but sometimes with unorthodox tools.  For instance, to keep my paint from freezing in the Antarctic, I used vodka instead of water. 

For this painting, I used, in addition to brushes, a folding jackknife, a Mr. Clean Magic Sponge, a spoon, and painter's tape.  I accidentally answered the door holding the knife during my paint scraping part of the process, and nearly scared the pants off the FedEx guy.  If I'd been holding the sponge or the spoon, it wouldn't have been nearly as dramatic.

I am unable to paint without getting it all over myself.
