It's always a good idea to warm up to a medium. This was my warm up. I was driving from Kaupo to Nahiku the long way and stopped to paint this little w/c on the way. It shows the 3 correct primaries, transparent yellow, magenta and cyan.

I'm making a DVD movie of this painting. It started without any drawing other than thin paint. First I wet down the whole page to remove any extra sizing from the surface. While it was wet I laid in the lightest tints of each pattern and let it dry. That was my drawing.

From there I keep adding color to define shapes and shadows using a big #36 Goliath White Sable.
