Thank you Albert,

Not watercolor, very scrubby oil. I forgot not only my palette, which I borrowed a spare, had the wrong brushes, and no burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. I used cobalt and a bit of old vandyke very sparingly and gingerly. Just a warm up.

It is scrubby and blended, very thin paint on a piece of canvas taped to a board. I like to bring unstretched sheets and if they fail, I can wipe off and re paint, if they are good lessons, I dry them enough to hang on pant hangers in the closet. They store better unstretched and by hanging them, I don't worry about the damage of rolling.... I have quite a few of these. And of course, if they are good, I stretch or glue them to a board.

Open studio can be habit forming. This is about 12x16 on a much larger piece of canvas.
