Spring sure is leaping into Summer. At least here in Vermont, where air conditioners are in place and running on the third week of May. Perhaps, this watercolor study will cool things down a bit.
This wash was a dark I have been experimenting with, lately. It consists of burnt umber/indigo and a touch of payne's gray. This is basically a one wash painting. There is a variation of the proportions of the pigments from one area to the next but it is one wash, in essence. The bush was painted by drawing the wet pigment down from above with my rigger brush.
I painted this on Holbein watercolor paper which doesn't seem to accept numerous washes, yet the pigments remain so fresh and vivid.
