Local Frog Pond

Back in the early fall I drew out a picture to paint in plein air. However, as I was recovering from an eye infection and rain was moving in, I figured it would be painted at a later time. Meanwhile, it sat on my watercolor block until yesterday.

Basically, this watercolor was painted from memory. But I am okay with that. I learn from every watercolor I do.  It is important to finish watercolors I start even if they are not my best work. The discipline of following through I believe has value.

There was a bit of underpainting done on the tree and foreground which added some textural qualities and richness to the scene. In addition, I like quality and quantity of the shadows.
