It feels good to simply push the paint around sometimes. There had been some watercolor marks on this sheet of paper which had some abstract qualities. Yet, I could envision a landscape if I developed this further.
Watercolor painting I think is most successful when done in succession. There is a certain freedom of expression and looseness when one digs into a painting. Once one becomes hesitant or tentative I believe it shows in the work.
As a result this landscape felt good as I worked through it. It may not be my best painting but I enjoyed the process. Along the way I experimented with different ways to portray the water and the foliage in the foreground.
