Warms against cools and vice versa in watercolor can make a picture sing. Particularly, when there are soft edges that bleed together. I have learned the hard way that there are times when it is best to leave a wash alone. This is one such example.
This is one of those little landscapes I create when I have limited time. Continuity is important in painting as in others aspects of life.
There is an intuitive element about these that I find mesmerizing. To turn the paper on edge and draw the wash across the paper creates excitement and changes your perspective. In addition, the absence of color makes other areas with pigment stronger. Often less is more.
Experimenting with color and pigments is quite addictive. If there is any time of year to broaden your horizons this is it. As Spring continues to unfurl new colors and forms everyday we see the world with a fresh eye.
