I received my
Winsor & Newton Award from the Woman’s Art Club of Cincinnati
 |
| The palette closed. |
 |
| The palette open - paints are in a drawer that slides out. |
It’s much
heavier than it looks! I will probably
not use the palette, but will certainly use the paints. I have used Daniel Smith paints for years,
but will give these W&N colors a good try in an upcoming painting.
Colors included
are transparent yellow, Winsor yellow, scarlet lake, alizarin crimson, Winsor
green (blue shade), cobalt blue, Winsor blue (green shade) yellow ochre, burnt
sienna, burnt umber, raw umber and lamp black.
As you know, I
don’t use black, but will try to find a way to incorporate it into a painting,
since it’s here!
Also included
with my award was a short letter from the Club’s president. In it, she told me: “The judge was captivated by your perspective
and amazing detail.”

It’s always
nice to know the reasoning behind an award, but you don’t always have the
opportunity to hear it, so I appreciated her note.

Congratulations, Deb! That is a nice set - make sure you hide it when I come over! ha ha. So glad you got such great feedback on your painting, too.
Well, I'm captivated too, that's a great word for it. How did you pick the time of day? Or does it match the shadows from a west facing window? And whose anniversary does the clock celebrate?
I'm captivated too. By the lace and the brass--how you got that color and shine I'll never know.
A nice award. The palette has a lot of mixing areas, and I prefer some W&N colors over DS: raw sienna and cerulean. I think W&N's are brighter, more transparent.
Rhonda, will do - and it's always good to get that feedback, if possible.
Katherine - I THINK it was afternoon, west window (how did you know?) and the clock was loaned to me by a student, she just called it an anniversary clock - so no particular anniversary.
Laura - thanks! I will give the WN a try and see how they compare to my DS.
