Meadow Grass

While walking by a roadside meadow a few days ago, I spotted tall, thin grasses with these wispy cattails. They were so delicate; I thought it would be an interesting challenge to paint something with essentially no mass placed in a jar with no water. Primarily, it is a painting of air.

  2. Hi Stephanie, almost always, the only blue on my palette is ultramarine. Occasionally, I will use cobalt or even more rarely cerulean.

  5. It's beautiful, I would never have thought to paint something like this, thinking it would be very hard to do - I love what you did with it!
