When pressed for time I have been painting these quick watercolor sketches. Many are purely imaginary. It is an opportunity to try out new color mixes and see what I can do with them. I find it keeps the mind engaged and the paint flowing.
In addition, the importance of leaving the white of the paper, in some areas, is paramount. This draws the eye into the landscape and the pigment will not run where the paper is dry.
The color of the building was mixed with quinacridone gold and an orange color that has been sitting on my palette for some time. I like the richness of the color and the gritty texture.
Most of all I like this direct way of painting which produces a fresh and lively style of applying paint.
