#31 / Aubergines

  

Today I found out how hard it was to paint dusty, folded up and uninhabited old spider’s webs. The mark on the wall behind and to the right of the aubergines is my attempt at painting the spider’s web… it looks more like an attempt at making a Whistler style insignia. Anyway, as always it will be something to tackle again on another day.
Aubergines are lovely to paint and some of the colours on my palate went on straight from the tube. My palate is zinc white, naples yellow, yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, sap green, oxide of chromium, cadmium red, alizarin crimzon, french ultramarine, blue black and van dyke brown.
