Neptune
Today’s daily is a mix of ultramarine blue and viridian green on 4×6 paper.
It started as a general wash across the whole sheet and then I began picking out little areas of denser wash which suggested forms as I progressed.
Eventually, Neptune made his unexpected appearance. Were he Poseidon, I think he would be preparing to release the Krakken ( and sound an awful lot like Liam Neeson)!
I edited and released the 78th episode of the Ninja Mountain Podcast yesterday.
My buddy, Drew Baker, kindly joined me in laid-back chat about a wide variety of light topics.
It was a good time and I hope the listeners enjoy it while they work.
Now I must get back to work. I’ll be painting all Labor Day weekend to make a deadline!
The wayward life of the freelancer rears its many-horned head, once again. ;)

Thanks, Rachel.
I use a variety of paper sizes. I tend to buy when it’s on sale. I find that changing up the formats can be very exciting and causes me to play with different shapes and compositions. The new 6×12 paper pad I just purchased was a great find for me. :)

Love it! I like the idea of doing the wash then picking out the details to make it into something more. I picked up a mess of 4×6 watercolor paper on the weekend, but if you hadn’t told me that you used something that small I would never have believed it. (Also, I love the podcast.)
