It feels good to paint on Arches watercolor paper again. Lately, I have been painting in a small Holbein travel book and on other various papers. However, for me Arches is a lovely surface, at least on cold press as it takes washes so well. Also, it gives you time before the paper starts to dry.
I painted this watercolor study tonight of Long Pond which is on Mount Desert Island in Maine. The colors in the photograph are far more muted than in the watercolor. It almost had a tropical feel to me. Of course, the winter feel would be entirely different.
This image reminds me of summer. Time sure does pass.
