After working too much lately, it was great to get back to watercolor painting. We have had so much rain in July, they say, record numbers, that the landscape is greening up again.
I tried to capture some of those vivid colors in this watercolor. Blues and greens are vital to painting the landscape in Summer.
Continuity in watercolor painting, I find, is important, as approaches to painting are continually evolving. For example. I have been searching for that elusive dark green of foliage you often see when looking from a shady area out towards sunny areas. Of late, I have been combining burnt umber and ultramarine blue which provides a rich dark.
