Brattleboro Outing Club

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

Last Friday I cross-country skied at the Brattleboro Outing Club. I longed for the conditions experienced. The sun was glorious and the temperature was mild, requiring light layers. I didn't experience any of the hard ice that dominated much of this winter. The increased length of day made it such a wonderful time, too.

This watercolor is a sort of memento of the outing club experience. There is appeal in the yellow siding of the buildings in contrast to the cool blue shadows cast across the open space. 

I am still finding my way with this thick Arches watercolor paper(300 lb). Recently, I have experimented with hot press in addition to the rough and cold press versions. This picture is painted on the cold press paper. The 140 lb Arches paper in the block or individual sheet form I am very accustom to.
