One evening over the weekend, I worked on this little watercolor inspired from the Maine coast. Originally, I was taken by the sweet color of the shoreline rocks. That color against the blue of the water drew my attention.
In the October 2019 issue of Watercolor Artist magazine I read the colors noted watercolorist Charles Reid had used to paint rock formations. He is said to have used a combination which includes alizarin crimson, cerulean or cobalt and raw sienna or yellow ochre.
With this in mind, I figured it was an opportunity to try these pigment and burnt sienna in this watercolor. Lately, in addition, I have been introducing more greens into my blues for water.
Experimenting and learning new pigment combinations for me is endlessly fascinating. I look back at earlier paintings and notice quite clearly how my palette has evolved.
