PAINTING IN TUSCANY: Wisteria Love! Reworking an old painting!
http://paintingintuscany.blogspot.com/2015/05/wisteria-love-reworking-old-painting.html
Reworking an old painting! I just love the wisteria and would love to sit on that bench! This painting is made from a very small photo, I think it was a pubblicity in a garden magazine, a few years ago. I wasn't happy with it, but left it in the pile. Then recently I found it again and got inspired! I washed away part of it, and painted the shadows on the wisteria. And some yellow for the light on the ground -even if the photo doesn't show it! Do you ever rework old paintings? Disegno e dipingo da sempre!

Watercolors by Sabine Blomqvist. PAINTING COURSES IN TUSCANY. Lesson 1: Part Two - Choosing the watercolour paper. Oranges, watercolour on 300gsm rough paper. So what paper should you use? A good watercolour paper should be acid free, and contain at least 50 % cotton. Also the weight is important - a 300 gsm (140 lb) is a common choice, and will suite most of your work. A lighter one (200 gsm/ 90 lb) can be used for sketching, but tends to buckle. Personally I use single sheets. They are larger, can ...

Watercolors by Sabine Blomqvist. PAINTING COURSES IN TUSCANY. Painting the sea in the winter - on a Sketchbook Tuesday! I was very inspired thinking of the colors, the smell of salt, splashes of water. and movements of the waves - the everchanging sea in November. This time I used gouache and mixed media - paper scraps, glue and pencil for the first one, and then I painted the other ones very fast mostly with gouache, but one also with watercolors. Which one do you prefer? But, once this painting was dry...
