Taking the scenic route home from my long day of painting, I stopped at Park La Fontaine where I made a painting of the fountain with seagulls recently. It was convenient because I had nearly ran out of water and could use the lake water to make this painting. The water under the bridge was surprisingly green, I tried using my new perylene green (PBk31) but it was too dull, so I glazed it with phthalo green yellow shade (PG36). After having trouble with perspective on the last location I was determined to get the bridge perspective correct, which seems to have worked out. There were a lot of people in the park on Saturday but I found this little spot to sit under a tree on an embankment away from the paths. Someone was playing a psychedelic song on a harp with chanting, and I could smell cannabis in the air. Nice way to end the day!
