Basically, that about sums it up. Nothing happened, but then …
Painted for an hour this morning while Scamp went to her final physio appointment. I’d already done the groundwork and used masking fluid to protect the mountains (it’s an imaginary snow covered landscape). I made the mistake of using some tubes of Cotman colour, that is student quality, for the sky area. What should have been clear and transparent, turned out dull and cloudy. What more could I do but turn it into a cloudy sky, it was meant to be a sunset! After I took off the masking fluid, I added the rocks that show through the snow and the water below the mountains. It looks quite good. Try to remember all the above and I’ll attempt to post a picture of the watercolour tomorrow.
Took back my library books. Got another one out on the subject of watercolours and there’s a complete section on painting snow. I’d forgotten how useful a library can be.
Came home and had lunch. Went in to Glasgow to look at wet weather jackets. Not heavy ones like I wear in the winter. Just a light jacket that’s waterproof and breathable and HAS LOTS OF POCKETS! Couldn’t find one. The ones with lots of pockets were either too expensive or weren’t waterproof. More investigation required.
It was too early to come home, so I took some pics down by the Luggie, and that’s what you see above.
For dinner, I made an innovative pasta Genovese with a poached egg on top. It was good, but not great. Needs a bit of tweaking, I think.
Went to salsa and acted as doorman there for the extent of the beginners class but quite enjoyed the advanced even if there were far too many girls and the class was quite small. That’s what happens during school holidays.
Other than that, nothing happened.
More researching into jackets tomorrow.
