more work...perhaps too much on macro watercolor 5, and starting macro watercolor 6 / by Philip Tarlow

macro watercolor 5

4:39 PM: today i renewed work on macro watercolor 5 and started marcro watercolor 6. i’m slowly getting into a flow with this new series, renewing my relationship with watercolor as a medium and drawing from my recent song of a flute series journey, as well as my motion and collage series and all that i learned from them.

#5 has quite a bit of collage; #6, thus far has none.

this particular image, this tree trunk, has somehow grabbed my attention and won’t let go. we’ll see where i take it tomorrow. #6 may well be resolved.

this watercolor series has been inspired by the series of trail phootos i shot last summer, using a macro lens on my iphone, which i was experimenting with.

i had a great viber exchange with my grandson philip in athens earlier in the day. i suggested we each make self portrait drawings over the next few days, and then compare what we each did. i’ll let you know how that goes.
