The South Bay Art Association had their monthly meeting for March with a demonstration on negative painting in watercolor done by my friend, Lorraine Rimmelin. She is a master at this painting trees and all sorts of things this way. We all got to try negative painting using stencils of various objects. I selected the seahorse. We toned the paper in random spots very lightly and then lightly traced our pattern in several spots. For each successive layer the value of the color got darker around the shapes. It was a fun lesson!.
The Patchogue Sketch Club focused on cartoons and cartoon characters. It wasn't something I was very interested in, but Peanuts came to mind. I'm not overly fond of copying something, but couldn't think of another way to do a cartoon. Someone had a good idea and brought a cartoon figure instead.
