I've been working with green lately and it has been such a pleasure after yellow. There are so MANY greens and most of them are gorgeous and all of them are *cheery in a (mostly) quiet way.
I gathered together a bunch of green things this morning and here they are:
Now, I'm well aware this kind of activity isn't rocket science or high art, but it IS pleasant and it IS instructive, in its way, to me.

*Look at all these greens from my watercolor crayon set. Those are some cheery colors, are they not?
I love the transulcent quality of your washes. And this really shows in your ode to green entry. Lovely!

Harry, you old flatterer, you. Your work is brilliant and you know it ;D. And remember, it's not that easy being green.

Green is, always will be my favorite color. And my favorite pen color is Limepeel Green - now can't you just see that color when you say the name. And there's linden green and yellow chartreuse and apple green and spruce green and moon white which is for some reason a green and I love those slippers - they're yummy. Only my toothbrush isn't green but my toothpase is. And I hope the model shows up tomorrow. I'm looking forward to those sketches.

Laura - I think this is an excellent exercise! I loved the yellow pages, and now I'm loving the green pages! By the way, if you want a dab of each of the DS quinacridones, e-mail me with your snail mail address and I'll send you a little pallette-full. Might as well try them out before you invest!
