Aerial perspective reveals a lot when painting a landscape. When there is a complex topography and a wide area to cover it is fun and rewarding to paint from a bird's perspective.
This watercolor is an imaginary landscape with all these wetland inlets and massing of growth. The white of the paper makes all the horizontal surfaces pop forward.
This was painted free-hand with just two pigments: new gamboge and payne's gray. I like expressive watercolors and the foreground is charged with lucid brushwork.
