I'm trying to stretch my abilities during this little adventure of mine and something I've needed to work on is my use of the palette knife. I struggle with it constantly, and although I love using one I have a tendency to leave pieces of paint where they don't belong! Very frustrating. My self imposed challenge today was to use only a palette knife and to not use a brush at all. It was especially challenging on such a small surface, a 5"x7" panel. The scene is entirely imaginary so I thought the name should come from an imaginary source as well. I loved reading the Harry Potter books and the pictures that came to mind...before the movies imprinted on us all. Welcome to my imaginary world and ciao!
"A sherbet lemon is a hard, lemon-flavoured Muggle sweet that is filled with fizzy powder. Albus Dumbledore was particularly fond of these sweets, so much in fact, that he brought some along with him on the night he and Professor McGonagall went to leave infant Harry Potter with the Dursleys in 1981. He offered McGonagall one, but she refused, thinking it an inappropriate time for eating sweets. Dumbledore's liking of the sweet evidently continued, as years later, during Harry's time at Hogwarts, "Sherbet Lemon" was one of the passwords to his office in 1992."
