Shades Of Blue - Learn To Surf


I was in a mood to some kind of blending w/c and this evolved...
size: 6"sq
On St Armand 140# w/c paper. I mixed a large batch of diluted Daniel Smith Phthalo Blue (green shade) with water. Painted the whole page with that color, then painted over it with the same paint mixture leaving one section untouched (that very light blue). Repeated about 7 times before it wouldn't get any darker. I like doing this technique... It reminded me of the ebb and flow of waves.
Added the text using a pointed nib and Bleed Proof white in a loose script style.

words: You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. Jon Kebat Zinn
