When we were in Seattle in September for the Van Gogh Experience, I took a photo of First Avenue as we walked to the show. Today I made a painting from that photo. My first attempt was a bit clumsy, so I tried again.
For this painting, I stood at the easel so that I had a free sweep of my arm. I wet the back of the paper which helps keep the surface moist and allows he washes to blend for a longer period of time, and I used a big mop brush. That seemed to help.
