Day 17 September 30 x 30 2017

Here I started with my wax crayons marking the cross. Then worked with watercolor pencils and crayons plus water. Having the cross in wax allowed using water without any bleeding.

Deepened the main colors and added collage pieces from Gelli Prints. At first, I had the blue section with just the 4 squares and later when looking freshly I added the purple at the bottom right!

Day 13 and 14 Revisions

Day 13 and 14 Revisions

Thanks Jen for your advice on your blog Day 13.
Don't paint when you aren't really in the "zone"

Take deep breaths to get there, I think of my breathing when I swim!
That there is something to learn from failure.

The cuts from series 4 did not seem to make it. I felt it but couldn't really put my finger on the problem. Actually, I know the problem, sometimes I am so afraid of screwing up, I seem to freeze. So I took them all and decided that since I can't scrape, working with crayons, I will try to sort of put a veil over them and sort of start again. Taking my watercolor white crayon, dipped in water and rubbed it over the pieces. Then just started to color again as if it was new and not related to what was before.
