Watercolor is such a versatile medium. You can go in so many different directions when painting with these pigments. In addition, the marks you make and the colors you combine, on the multitude of papers and textures, seems unlimited.
Originally, I was drawn to these two old apple trees full of character and that dip in the contour in the background. However, I carried this painting to a further state than I initially thought I would. I discovered trees and techniques that lent themselves to inclusion in this painting.
In my travels locally, raw umber seems to be an important aspect of capturing the late fall landscape. Once the deciduous trees have shed their leaves, the tawny colors are prevalent in the changing light.
