This week it’s just\u00a0a post about my progress on the central Florida mural.<\/strong> We’re getting there! I posted the initial beginnings a few weeks ago here<\/a>\u00a0(September 29)\u00a0and here <\/a>(September 9), then we were off on a field trip to Point Reyes so things ground to a halt. Now I’m back in the downtown studio going at it.<\/p>\n

Someone emailed and asked what I used for a palette. Here it is! It’s pretty simple, only about a dozen colors and I use Nova Color exclusively, a special\u00a0small-company hand-mixed mural acrylic that’s like a milkshake (tube paint is much more paste-like). After I\u00a0discovered Nova about 20 years ago, I’ve used nothing else and it’s a pleasure to paint with on everything from the biggest cinder block walls to tiny\u00a0paintings on paper.\u00a0 You can’t buy this stuff in stores\u00a0– only online, but\u00a0I’ve had them ship to me in the field and they’re wonderfully helpful.<\/p>\n

Here’s the rest of my ‘kit’. A tablet for\u00a0reference photos (and a few printed out paper references too), dirty paint jar of water, a squirt bottle to keep the paint fluid, and, of course an iced latee from Mean Bean down the street (or Better Living Through Coffee, or Starbucks, or… this town doesn’t lack for Washington’s state drink). And that’s a full-sized paper copy of the sketch\u00a0in the background so I can figure out what to paint.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading this week. Stay tuned for more.
