New Studio Work - Stage One

Starting with a yellow ground ("summer squash" exterior enamel) on loose canvas I applied color with a brush and wiped back to the yellow with a cotton rag to give a resemblance (dare I say "Impression"?) of the sea bottom - there are some drippy green things in the upper left hand corner that I'll call "sea weed" and I'll call that long ropy thing a piece of hose. Next stage is glazing to develop the color of the water, and then the application of opaque color to describe the top interface of the water - fun.
