Trying this techinque of making a childrens book and then colouring in then then refining the painting with extra ink and shades works fine when I have little time for observation. It gives me the opportunity to work with limited observational powers, first looking at form, then at colour then correct whatever I missed in the clair obscure.
This slanting road upward in the heat of an Assisi afternoon gave ample fun and leisure to catch some of the sizzling dry heat and the beauty of the plants and houses.
