Using a square format is not something I utilize on a regular base. It is probably not the best format to portray a landscape, as a horizontal format is more suitable. However, this watercolor block was available without a painting on it and on a large scale(12" x 12") so I wanted to see what I could do with it.
This is a good format for painting a portrait but I do like to experiment and push the boundaries and see what I can learn from it. The square format I find makes an artist center their subject matter and technique in the middle of the paper which lends itself to a more formal approach.
I do like the color combinations and the suggestion of grass in the foreground with the absence of pigment.
