Watercolor is such a diverse medium. An artist is restrained only by their own limitations. There are unlimited ways of marking the paper or cropping a subject matter.
This sketchbook painting is the result of color mixtures new to me. It is a great opportunity to watch color bleeding into each other and observe what the pigment does. The use of warm pigments along cool ones, seem to be key.
For a change, it is satisfying to not apply paint to the whole sheet. As the paper begins to dry it is exciting to drop in richer pigment which gives greater depth and character to your landscape. Is that a reflection in the foreground or a massing of vegetation along the river bend?
