Tea Gown, 1880

It rained this morning, and I decided it would be fun to let my paper get rained on, then add watercolor to the drops. The two more purple ones have some amount of splatter painting, but the top is just the shapes nature (and the awning on my porch) gave me.

I particularly like this dark teal spot where a fresh drop collided with one I had just painted. I think the pastels in the second one evoke rain more effectively, though.

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

Rat is in the kiln! I won't find out until Friday how it's worked out and only with photos at that point. Not sure whether to pick up part of my batch or wait until they've all been fired.

Apparently I didn't take a photo of the glazed piece once all the layers were on the cup. Added like...three more glazes after this picture.
