Saturday in southern Vermont was a nasty day weather-wise with heavy snow. Shrubs and trees all over the region were bent over or crushed from the weight of the snow, in unnatural ways. It took me quite a while to free up the plant life on our property from the wet snow. From past experience, if not addressed, these plants sustain real damage in the form of damaged and broken limbs and severed trunks.
This watercolor was created between different stints of shoveling snow. So far I have only spent around twenty minutes of painting time. However, I like the start.
Since the New Year I am slowly transitioning to a larger palette, at least for the Winter - which is easier to clean. Instead of adding any more pigment to this established set, I have started painting until I use it all up. Along the way I figure this will force me to combine pigments I would not normally use thus expanding my skill and knowledge of color.
