It has been a lovely summer so far, at least here in southern Vermont. There have been many clear, sunny days and the humidity hasn't been bad. On the other hand, we are in a drought, and I don't even remember spring rain like we normally would have in the past.
However, it is important to get out in nature and reconnect with the natural world. This watercolor reminds me and perhaps you, that the landscape is so diverse. This beaver pond is close to home and houses so much wildlife. The beavers were putting on a show, clusters of loud birds were flitting about and frogs with their droning vocalizations dominated the shoreline.
This was painted on Holbein watercolor paper. With this paper it seems best if I preserve the white of the paper somewhere on the sheet. This way you best portray light on your subject in addition to creating a layer of depth in the most efficient manner.
