Landscape painting is a rewarding experience. Capturing the natural light or implying it gives life to a watercolor. Observing the landscape makes you see things for what they are. Over time you develop an eye for how to tweak the landscape to meet your vision.
When we add color, the landscape takes on greater meaning. We associate certain colors with certain seasons and elements in the landscape. For example, I have begun to notice a certain russet color in the late summer fields throughout New England.
Each time I start a landscape I approach it a little differently. This time I painted on Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper, which I have taken a liking too. This paper has an interesting weave like no other watercolor paper, from milling, but I like how it handles water and pigment.
