Painting on Dry Paper

I've been painting on pre-wetted paper to form glazes of colors.  Today I decided to paint on dry paper, building values on values. This produces a totally different effect.  I thought it would be more appropriate for the speckled light of a forest and waterfall. 

The colors I used were ultramarine blue , burnt sienna, and a bit of mixed greens.  The colors were subdued, so values became more important. 

I am also holding a workshop here in Florida on February 13-15.  For more information email me at
