Puzzle!
My super cool puzzle samples arrived from Galison this morning!
Daniel & I spent the afternoon putting the puzzle together.
The finished puzzle is huge! It measures 20" x 27"
We finished the easy part and we're now left with the really hard pieces
to work on over the weekend.
I plan to have this one framed to hang in my studio once we finish it.
Samples of the perpetual calendars & sticker books also arrived.
I'll show you those tomorrow :-)

I drew this back in the summer, i have a back log of drawings, I don't know why I haven't been posting except to say that I'm out of the habit. I used to feel anxious until I had posted for the day and now I often don't think of it. I'm working on the bar paintings and getting this book out so my focus a has been elsewhere. Sketch of the day has become a bit of a joke, I must admit, I'll have another go and see what happens, and and apologies for those of you who are visiting the site of late. I'll do better.

Lately Lily�is the creative collaboration between illustrator Micah Player and apparel designer Erin Nichols. Using the interesting set up featuring Lily, a fictional traveling daughter of a photographer and writer for ?the world?s greatest magazine,? the site provides young girls a chance to view the world through her eyes. You get to see where she is currently, check out her traveling notebook, help her pack her suitcase, and be able to buy tee shirts featuring Lily?s striking visage. Bold colors, broad strokes, colorful design make this a fantastic site to visit for young ones. Or, for people like me, who happen to love great illustration.�

Color That Can Be Saturated and Subtle?Who Knew?
I adore color—deep ruby reds, bold blues, verdant greens, rich golden yellows...I could go on and on, but one thing that I often forget in my zeal is that color is not just a matter of hue. Saturation and subtle color layers also play a huge part in how a successful painting comes together.
That's especially true in watercolor. Because the pigments can be both transparent and opaque, and because colors are so easily layered on top of one another, there are an infinite number of colors to create in any watercolor painting.
In Christopher St. Leger's work, I see how prismatic his colors are, and by that I mean that no one color seems to be taken unmixed from palette to paper. The artist builds complex colors through delicate washes and intricate blending. And he applies the paint in such a way that you get a sense of the "basic" colors he starts with, and how he mixes them into something else entirely.

Sometimes the best test of a color's depth is looking at one that we often take for granted. Sarah Yeoman, an Artist Daily member whose work I just love, has shown me how neutral colors like brown, beige, and grey are in fact some of the most exciting and complex colors to create. In her watercolor painting Falling Light, I see how many colors went into making the browned foliage underbrush, and trees, as well as the grey-blue-white of the air and sky.

But an artist also has to know when to turn up the color. Give it to us bold and powerful. That is what Nessa Grainger often does in her watercolor art—incorporates strokes of bold color that energize the painting and make it seem like something exceptional is happening.

Color is the last thing any painter takes for granted, but knowing how to get the most out of color can take some doing. 600 Watercolor Mixes is a color workshop in itself. After paging through it and studying all the color "recipes" in the book, I really began to realize how expansive the possibilities of color in watercolor really are. It's made me better understand what I am seeing when I look at other artists' work, and it has also given me the confidence to explore watercolor all around the color wheel. Enjoy!
