The fireplace is very warm and dries the puddles of paint with amazing speed.
Dried, painted papers are hung on the bulletin board. I am considering these for further layers, collages, or maybe as finished work.

Fast Drying, Juicy Watercolors Painted by the Wood Stove
Salvaging is a freeing experience. First I selected several hundred watercolors that are not special to me. Some are very old and good paintings but just not that great. I am painting either on the back or on top of bright color. I salvage all the paint from a tube, meaning I feel free to use large amounts of color.

Fascinating!!! As always, I enjoy your approach to art.
I'm going to be sending you an e-mail with some questions soon.
Kay, thank you. I will try to answer your questions. I realize I didn't explain that all these colors have stood on the shelf so long that they dried out in the tube. For years I kept accumilating more and more watercolor tubes that were very hard to squeeze or completely dried out.
That looks like such a fun place to work and what a great project for cold icy days!
Rain, Painting by the wood fire warms my bones. I feel years more flexible. I am back learning what paint will do. These exercises may help me work out how I will express myself on location.
It is a week later. Still painting by the fireplace only the weather is warmer and rainy. The rain is handy for wetting the paintings.
