Where are the witches of Rochester?

My lil spin on the Witch Queen from Hell Boy for my buddies Halloween scavenger hunt.

Every Halloween, my friend provides a group of artist, a different shaped cut out to make art on and then hides them around the city.

I got to escape for some plein air time last week, and I started painting a colorful flowerbed before getting overwhelmed and then fed up. So I settled on a new one of just these tulips and finished it up at home. Not as ambitious, but still rather nice. . posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CANsITCDdMM/

Today, I tried casein tempera for painting on location. I wanted to see how quickly the paints would dry. All the colors in my storage palette contained a bit of W&N watercolor blending medium, but the titanium white was straight from the tube. It’s hot today and the paints did surprisingly well. I did have to mist the palette once in a while but it was comfortable to work with the colors. I also decided to use this opportunity to try my alla prima pochade box that I had bought two years before for oil painting and hadn’t used it. I attached my storage palette to the auxiliary palette of the box using velcro and I placed the cup with water into the drawer of the box. I also used my natural hog oil brushes this time. Because of that the finished painting looks like an oil painting and because of the matte finish it also looks like a gouache painting :) I didn’t use water to dilute the paints to achieve a better flow, instead I used casein emulsion which is sold separately. For the support I used a board with Arches hot pressed watercolor paper mounted on it. I made many of those boards a year ago for gouache. So this is just a test piece done from our veranda. I wanted to test this setup and the paints before taking them to paint outside. I loved the experience. So far, casein tempera looks like a nice replacement for oils for me. You can see the setup in my previous post. • If you have questions I have written a few painting guides that are available for free download at www.lenarivo.com • My original paintings can be purchased at www.lenarivo.com/shop • Giclee prints of different sizes are available at www.lenarivo.com/prints • • • #tempera #caseintempera #casein #caseinpaint #painting #pleinairpainting #fineart #impressionism #gouache #gouachepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/ChhhwRFMfXT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
