The surprise of color

 



Many discoveries in this page !
 I appreciated using blue watercolor as a witness of heaven and choosing mixing a red and a yellow to color the clementine, as opposed to using an orange.  That was a deliberate choice to have the three primary color ( I don’t think I would have had that connection before this class).  I enjoyed also adding the color, not as something to be done well technically but as part of the 1, 2, 3 poem.

    so love this - the looseness of dropping in this color - leaving white space in the blue and on the clementine so the light can be there - and pens and pencils basking in it all - nice . . . !

my freewrite: When I make a line I have to be present in my body. I have to remember to keep my feet on the floor - and I am very prone to squirming. I have to keep the brush vertical and my wrist cocked. I have to rotate gently while keeping the line straight - and to feel that I am moving from my core, rather than from my head. I have to exercise gentleness and precision in order to get the rounded-edge at the beginning, 'folding over the laundry' gently so that my brush doesn't end up flattened into two factions of threads. I have to remember not to hold my breath. If I fail at any of these things, I have to let it go and continue on with the process. When I make a line the line becomes the evidence of my existence. The whole world dims and it's just me and the brush and the page. -Katie
