This is a small watercolor I painted a little while back. I was impressed because it was painted with only two pigments, burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. It is amazing what you can come up with when using a limited palette. Also, it is easier and quicker to clean-up when using just a few pigments.
This was painted on Arches Watercolor paper which is the surface I use most often. The smaller you paint I find the greater control I have over buckling when the paper is wet.
The landscape has become my favorite subject matter, not that I dislike portraits or still life's. Part of the reason is that I like to be out in nature and the other is that I have a degree in landscape architecture and have thus studied the landscape on a regular basis.
