Painting - Goauche On Paper
Description
This is a sepia gouache painting on heavy watercolor paper. It is 28 inches tall by 21 inches wide. Umber was the only color I used. No white or any other color was used.
It is a still life of the beginning of a stew. A large pot, a wooden cutting board, a red bell pepper and a green bell pepper, a couple of big potatoes, and a large red plastic ladle are depicted. I used a large burgundy sheet draped behind it for a background.
I set myself a challenge of trying to achieve the sense of colors without actually using them. I painted this al fresco since I was in a hurry to make dinner. This is the first time I used gouache as a painting medium. It was a challenge for me. I did this many years ago. I was about to make a big pot of stew and thought that I should do a quick painting of it before I used the ingredients.

I was surprised that it all came together as quickly as it did. I was in the groove.

AnnaJo...this is masterful...there is something about loving a thing and painting its essence under time constraint...it doesn’t allow the ego to be involved...it is PURE SOUL ESSENCE ...of that which is gazed upon + the artist’s gaze = the remnant ...usually a fine work. In this case...a masterful Sepia painting. WONDERful!..LF

Thank you so much, Laurel. You are right about having time constraints being a catalyst in creating. It seems to help one hyper focus.
