      <image:caption>As you can see, I have here my sketch done lightly, a bit of masking fluid in the foreground to add the bright flowers in at the end, and I have painted the beginning of my sunset. What a monumental mess. Entirely too dark and too bright. This is the point where sometimes, you just want to throw the whole thing away and start again. But, I choose to carry on. It might be salvageable with some lifting and some lavender. Coffin’s painting’s sky is so very detailed and in trying to recreate that I missed the mark. I should have probably chosen to make 2 large areas of clouds that were blocks of color. Regardless, we keep moving.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As I add the layers of blues and greens, it’s a constant slight variation of color and tone, some blending together, some hard edges. All of this is why I think that watercolor is a perfect medium for showing that “unseen air”! I’m not using one green or one blue here, but basically just something different mixed up for each layer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The “Unseen Air” - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now that I have a layer over everything down in my first layer. Most of our edges between things are soft, but there are some hard edges we need to soften and some hard edges we need to add. With everything else in, the sky doesn’t look horrible. Maybe it is salvageable after all. I add some texture to the foreground, some red roofs and windows, some wee little cows, some poppies and hit the sky up with the a bit of cerulean and lavender to kick back the color and break it up.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Here is my final work. Is it my favorite painting ever, no. What did I learn? Well, as usual, when painting in watercolor, more isn’t always better. If I had been out painting with Coffin this day, I might have simplified it quite a bit. But the layers on layers of land and trees with the hills in the background do bring an atmosphere to the painting. It was a good learning day! Go paint and be happy!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Super simple sketch to start off. My paper is 9×12 Fabriano Artistico which is slightly different w/h ratio than the original of 14×16. So I adjusted things to work. Oh, look. You can see my feet. I first laid down a layer of yellow ochre and burnt sienna over the entire painting and let it dry. I did an awful job documenting each step in photos. Sorry. This is my journey. To this I first added in the background hill using burnt sienna, van dyke brown, and deep sap green. The painting required a lot of fine mist to be sprayed to keep the water just damp enough to make soft edges. This was probably the most difficult part of the process. I really struggle with water control, even after 5+ years of painting. Winter has bee extraordinarily dry and our summers are very humid so it is a constant battle to get it right.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - They Make It Look SO Easy - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>For the tree trunks, I use lunar black and van dyke brown and that spray bottle to achieve the fuzzy trunks and branches. Notice the careful way that the trees are not evenly spaced, some growing tightly together. The foreground…ah, the foreground. I completely made it entirely too dark the first go round. Luckily, my palette is full of liftable watercolors so i was able to wet it down and lift it off using a paper towel. The paper towel actually added some texture. In this phase, I also added the tops of the trees in deep sap green and undersea green with a touch of indian red, and once again utilizing that soft mist sprayer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - They Make It Look SO Easy - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here you can see I have gone back into the tree trunks, lifted some and darkened others to add depth. I also lifted some areas in the background to add depth and variety. For the grasses, I have added transparent yellow, indian yellow, and quin gold using a fan brush. Although the color is much brighter than the color in the original, I have to admit I like it better. Painting using 150 old paintings and relying on the photograph on line or in a book is not necessarily a true representation of the painting and I don’t always count on what I see to be right. Plus, this is MY journey and I get to make choices. (HA!) Looking at the sky, I actually thought it too bright, so I added some brown from my palette to the left upper side on down to the horizon and across the top. I did a little tweaking here and there mostly by lifting color to add texture. When I began, I literally thought this would be an easy one. It was anything but. I am happy with my final piece but it felt like a mis-step every decision I made. I do absolutely LOVE the simplicity of the trees in this composition and may even hang this on my own wall someday. Until next time, happy painting!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The original (above) is just so stunning! Buttery blended goodness all around. The symbolic for is in the plains of color, the massive sky meeting with the narrow slip of trees in the horizon, giving way to the golden vastness of the marsh grass with a bit of water thrown in so you know you are looking at something coastal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stress on Symbolic Form in Tonalism - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>My sky I put down wet in wet using cerulean, some palette grey, azo yellow, and Schmincke violet and imperial purple. Probably got a little more bleed between the yellow and purples due to the granulating effect of the Imperial purple, but I do love the way the pink shows through the purple like it does in the original. I can try to clean it up a bit later. For the middle ground, I used a layer of azo yellow and laid the cerulean into the water feature. I lifted some, added a touch of the purple to the water to give it depth and interest. then, I dried the whole thing off.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stress on Symbolic Form in Tonalism - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>For the wam glow, again, I used quin gold (this has to be a favorite color!) varying my paint thickness and brush strokes to create texture. For the trees in the horizon, I used Indantherene blue, violet, and deep sap green. I lifted areas, softened others to mimic the original. All of those soft lines are really easy to replicate in watercolor! For the darks in the foreground, I used indian red, quin sienna, VanDyke brown and some neutral tint. From a distance, the original looks like one big dark blob at the bottom, but as you inspect further, there are shapes and suggestions of depth and stones or other things. Once again, you want to convey the sense of those things without painting them in by varying the stroke and color you are applying. (I, once again, forgot to document this in between step. UGH)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stress on Symbolic Form in Tonalism - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Comparing the study with the original, I feel like it is almost there. The sky needs a tad more pink and yellow, the water needs some shadowing and then I add one more layer of dark to the foreground.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This time, I am very satisfied. This study really aligns with the kind of watercolor painting I do, fits my style. It will be interesting to see if over time I can see a difference in my style. If doing these studies will change the trajectory of my own journey. I guess we will have to wait to see. Happy Painting!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A super simple sketch will do, basically a horizon line with some triangles. Funny how you know what those triangles are… But I digress. I used a wash of azo yellow and transparent orange to create that glow of light that the Tonalists were famous for. Let that dry completely, we are definitely not looking for blending here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In order to get the opacity I need here, I’m having to resort to using titanium white and buff to mix into some of my colors. I typically don’t do this but since we are experimenting, why not? I use lavender and cerulean with the titaniums to make some thick paint (almost straight from the tube) to boldly lay down some thick strokes of color in the sky. This is the point where I start to question everything as it looks absolutely nothing like the reference. ugh.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Expressive Tonalism - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now, I start adding in those DARKs and boom! For my dark, I mixed together Indian Red, Van Dyke Brown, neutral tint and a tiny bit of lunar black. This mixture was thinner than the previous layer, milky. I varied the mixture so it wasn’t all the same dark. That is really important…on your palette lay those colors close to each other and mix a bit at a time so you can vary it as you go. I applied all of the dark using a palette knife. Crazy, I know. But it clearly worked for Bunce so I thought it would work for me. It took a couple of layers to get the really dark areas dark enough, but I was happy with the way the light shone through the painting.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After the darks had dried, I wasn’t happy with the GLOW. It wasn’t glowing enough. Carefully, very lightly touched in some more yellow and orange. Then, a few highlights of the cerulean and white on top of everything and it was done! Voila!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Expressive Tonalism - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is my finished piece. I have to say, I didn’t think I could come close to capturing Bunce’s original. Especially with watercolor. This experiment continues to amaze me. I continue to amaze myself. It’s really been freeing to create this way. I can only imagine living in a time where almost all art looked the same, or similar. Realistic and aesthetic. And then you start doing THIS! What? Even for me, living in a time where we have Picasso, and Matisse, and artists pouring buckets of paint onto room sized canvases from a swing upside down, EVEN NOW painting like this is freeing…EXPRESSIVE! Can I take it into my own work? Maybe…but I have to admit it is scary to think of. An aesthetic painting is easy to like. A painting like this is likely to be “judged”. It’s not for everyone. But dang, it was fun!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Here is my sketch. I really suck at drawing but who cares. The point is the journey and I’m on it! Now, I know for a fact that where I have that graphite, my paints are going to avoid the paper like the plague. I’m also going to use a very limited palette with this painting: some of the orange mix in my palette, the grey mix in my palette, cobalt turquiose, indian yellow and transparent yellow. To finish off I will be using some buff titanium and some Dr. Ph Martin’s white over top.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I almost always paint a wet on wet sky, but the bold strokes of the original just call for me to use strong paint, long strokes and dry paper. I do plan on going back later to add the white and buff to the sky so here in this first layer I am trying to establish those bold apricot and turquoise colors. For the greys, I am just using paint in my palette. That is one of the wonderful things about watercolor, you rarely waste paint! For the sails, I grab a mix of indian and transparent yellow plus some of the orange in my palette…its a mix of the oranges I just play with until I am happy. Once again, I plan on adding quite a bit of white (Rebel that I am!) to my sails so I am going for the colors I see behind. I’m careful to do one color, let it dry some, do another color. I don’t want things mixing and blending at all as this painting is not blended.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Aesthetic Tonalism - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Water layer is just cobalt turquoise very strong at the horizon and blended down a little with some bolder spots. I added the apricot colored reflections in the first layer so I’m careful to leave them as they are. Drybrushing this creates the little glimmers of light that are so adored in watercolor, but I might have to get rid of them for this one. Letting everything dry and then I will come in and finish up.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Finishing up, I have mixed some of the buff and white to add on top of the clouds, white on the sails, and I add some turquoise to the water. Trying hard not to over work it . I am so good at that! Overall, I really think I nailed this painting, which I did not expect!</image:caption>
