Liquid

Because I am lazy, I am using a sketch I did last weekend in Richmond. This is Richmond Bridge that crosses the Thames = the liquid highway.

I was getting quite cold when drawing the river scene, so afterwards went to this boat cafe to get a cup of warm liquid = Earl Grey.

    Earl Grey is my favorite! (I like that distant and subtle lemon flavor)
    oh, Sasa!!!! great artist of landscapes and interiors
    I have no words to say. this is magnificent.
    I love the second picture, I really like!
    About your questions: Sometimes some colors, I know in advance which will be, at the time I start painting,
    but I am very improvised, I prefer to go mixing colors and deciding on the fly, when the paint is taking shape on the canvas.
    Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)))))
    (second!!!!!!! :))))

    Late again, but hi Sasa! I think you are a great landscaper. In the first picture there's is a lot of movement and water sparkling. The second one is so cosy. Warm colors. It looks very English and I want to sit there and drink tea with you.

Flowers gone wild... I was testing how watercolor paper would work with my ink painting. Unfortunately ink always looks quite dull on it when compared to 'rice paper', which shows magnificent shades and nuances. But the problem with rice paper is that painting gets crinkled and needs to be mounted on a stiffer backing paper, which is a very difficult process. Currently I am sending my work to China to be mounted but that is time consuming. There must be soneone in London who has mastered the traditional Asian wet mounting technique?

Nunu the cat stepped on a plate of ink and then walked over some work of mine leaving cute paw marks... Unfortunately the end result was quite messy so I was experimenting with backgrounds today.     (This is not the first time Nunu participated in art creation. I have an earlier work where paw marks are clear and well-positioned and only improve the work... If I find it, I'll post it here later.)
