perfect description of palm trees
Thanks. They are wonderful to paint, challenging, like brush gesture figures.
These last two leave me speechless! I am looking forward to the Provence workshop iiin 2014.

Hi, Susan, I enjoyed very much your sketch workshop in Alexandria a couple of weeks ago, and looking at your watercolor of the palm tree, I wish we'd had more time to talk about your style/technique. Did you draw the palm beforehand and how did you choose your colors?
Cecilia Capestany
Hi, Cecilia. Thanks for writing--I enjoyed meeting you in the workshop. I dew the palm very quickly before painting--a few gestural lines, no detail. Color was mostly a triad of Prussian Blue, Cad Lemon and Alizarin Crimson. Towards the end I mixed a violet with cobalt and alizarin for the violet in distance. I'll often start with a triad, and move off of it as needed as painting progresses.
Very good. Nice site and I'm glad you are involved in this thanks.
