My Palette was getting empty---and in an effort to sharpen up my colors, I added Prussian Blue in addition to Cobalt and Cerulean,. and Carmine in the Thalo Red hole. Otherwise, I'm keeping the previous palette with these additions. I really need a bigger palette for mixing and keeping my colors pure.
I went back to sketchbook paper because I planned on these being quick!(ha, ha, ha)
Day 9 Shadow Play
I set up my Brush pot and my water glass, just as it was on the table, and I kept stealing the brushes and bumping them around. The pot is a large stoneware, cheese crock that once had a lid. The cup is a lime solo cup---! We keep it simple around here.

I tried to keep this simple, the shadows were concentrated on the blue pot. Shadows and reflections are interesting to play with. Here you can see the cobalt, cerulean, Prussian blues with the Thalo Purple for some of the shadows.
Day 10 Ocean Creatures
I included coral in this because it is a living creature and sadly disappearing, a few other critters are hiding as they do Unda-Da-Sea, (that song played in my head the whole time, such restraint to not paint a clown fish, also...LOL)

There's a crab and a few other hints of things. I went for lots of texture here and plants. I might use this theme in the future for some watercolor paper, something rough.

Day 11 Simple Pleasures
At our age, the first thing in the morning is a huge cup or two or three of coffee and a bit of cream.
I have these huge red stoneware mugs that are nice and thick and keep the coffee hot---what could be more pleasurable? All my dishes are blue, red, or blue and white. So, you see a lot of them.
The cup has Thalo Red, Cadmium Yellow Deep, Carmine and Burnt Sienna. Lots going on for one cup of Pleasure...
Hope you had some fun today, I sure did.
