Seasonal Change

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

Last night, I painted these watercolors of the same vantage point. That is, looking West from Brattleboro, VT in late summer and early spring. These were painted on the same sheet of Saunders watercolor paper. However, the internet went down preventing me from posting them.

Two watercolor pigments dominate my consciousness lately, permanent alizarin crimson and burnt sienna. They were used in both paintings. I have been using alizarin crimson in my blending of the lower sky while burnt sienna is useful in landscape painting by adding a red-brown into the fields.
