plein air watercolor/collage this afternoon / by Philip Tarlow

out at the creek this afternooon with my watercolors, folding table & stool

8:18 PM: taking advantage of the continued ideal fall temperatures, i went out to the creek at 3pm with my wtaercolors, table & little 3 legged stool.

these watercolors, by the very nature of the medium, happen rather quickly. i do, by the way, use a little white tempera to create some subtle greys & paint over not so successful passages. what is becoming a series of watercolors now has some added collaged elements, which happened when i got back to the studio.

we’ll see where it all goes, but this ideal weather should continue for a while & allow me to continue.
