  • Watercolor - Early Morning 25

    Posted on Wednesday September 16th, 2009 at 11:07 in early morning series

    This morning the sky was really clear. With a nice ligh glow of orange behind the trees and a very slight graded blue sky. After puting in that I had to let it dry before laying in the trees. I remembered the grass was real foggy and I tried to conve...

    Finally a clear sky with nice clouds and a nice glowing horizon. This one I added more color to the trees. I think it helps. The blue sky still needs work on that wash. The field was done wet on dry and with a variety of color loaded on the brush. So...

  • Watercolor - Early Morning 24

    Posted on Tuesday September 8th, 2009 at 09:27 in early morning series

    Well I skipped some days do to rain, and sleep, and time. This morning I was glad to do because at first the wash didn't go well so I used a napkin to clear out the middle more. You can tell in the painting where I lightened the middle. I got the clo...

    This morning I had a chance to wait a little longer for the sun to brighten up some. You can barely notice it but the top quarter of the paper is light blue and the rest of the sky is oragny hue.~KirbyEarly Morning 234" x 6" Watercolor on Canson 140l...

    Posted on Wednesday September 2nd, 2009 at 09:21 in early morning series

    Not a cloud in the sky this morning. I saw what I think is venus or mars. I'll have to figure that out someday. Well I wasn't sure what to do so I knew there was going to be some orange glow but how much. It was still early to tell. Instead of a pure...

    Posted on Tuesday September 1st, 2009 at 12:21 in early morning series

    This morning was a bleak one so I had to wait again for the sun to glow into the the clouds. I have too much blue in this. Still need to figure out how to add the blue and not have a dark border. Something interesting is the light I saw in the trees....

  • Moleskine - Early Morning 20

    Posted on Monday August 31st, 2009 at 10:06 in early morning series

    This morning was a very dull morning so I thought I would light things up a bit. Well maybe a bit too much light. This was early morning across the street from the gas station. I had to attempt to produce this from memory but came nowhere close, lol....

    This morning was very peaceful. Nice sunrise and whispy clouds here and there. There was a nice orange glow not to bright. The grass in the field was rich in green and jellies are back. They don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.~KirbyEarly Mo...

  • Watercolor - Early Morning 18

    Posted on Saturday August 29th, 2009 at 11:18 in early morning series

    This morning was a great morning. The clouds were out but not to thick. There was a nice orange glow near the horizon and I forgot the jellies, oops, lol. I used a number 8 round on this one. Usually I use a number 10 for a wash, sometimes I use a nu...

    Posted on Friday August 28th, 2009 at 09:53 in urban sketches, early morning series

    A different view this morning. I didn't have time to do the view at the house. Also it was pretty plain looking. It didn't take long about 10 minutes and I could see this view at the gas station. I did a quick sketch of this in pen and later put in t...

    Posted on Thursday August 27th, 2009 at 09:41 in early morning series

    This morning there were lots of clouds like this. They were moving slowly but surely, I had to act fast. Today I used French Ultramarine for the blue and green; Winsor Newton Artist quality. I realy liked it. Ive been using my white in my palette to ...

    Posted on Tuesday August 25th, 2009 at 10:26 in watercolors, early morning series

    This morning was definitely no let down. Lots of color everywhere. Instead of making the trees real tall I decided on a lower tree line. It put them in the distance more. The field I made a definite change in color. Instead of mixing my green I used ...

    Posted on Monday August 24th, 2009 at 09:42 in early morning series

    At first sight the morning looked real bleak. Hardly anything was showing except a couple of light spots near the horizon. Then I saw some lighting in the background that lit up the sky and then I could see the silhouettes of the clouds and just knew...

    This morning it was dull. This massive cloud was in the way. The sky was clear blue. Lots of fog. Its realy interesting the fog rises fast. Early this morning I didn't see any and as I was painting then all of a sudden I look up and fog everywhere am...

    Posted on Saturday August 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 in early morning series

    Lots of colors this morning. I need to work on my orange glow into the clouds more. It had more purplish in it than this. I did get a nice blue sky. I ran out of my ultramarine blue so my black has suffered for the trees, lol. Now I get to go by a Wi...

    Posted on Friday August 21st, 2009 at 11:25 in early morning series

    This was a different view. There were deffinitely clouds everywhere. The most noticeable portion was this little window of blue light coming through the clouds. Not a lot of fog this morning.~KirbyEarly Morning 104" x 6" Watercolor on Canson 140lb cp...

    Ok. I woke up this morning a little on the early side. Anxious to see whats awaiting for me to paint. It turned out to be real foggier than before, just what I was wanting. The grey blob is the clouds I finally got the coloring right. I just need to ...

    Sunday morning at around 6:15AM. Too my surprise some big clouds were around the horizon and were moving along pretty good. By the time I was setup to paint they rolled out of view. I started this one with a real wet graded wash. I wish I didn't do t...
