Painting on any good quality watercolor paper feels good. Even if it is on a scrap or remnant of a sheet. Often painting little doodles gets the juices flowing and I learn much along the way.
That's what led to these watercolors. I had started a plein air watercolor on the front but due to a time crunch it remained unfinished.
As I have mentioned in previous postings I have learned to appreciate the importance of leaving the white of the paper. The white of the paper or the patches left absent, of paint, lead the eye into and around the painting
Every mark left on the paper is important and communicates much towards the final result. These marks can communicate color, texture, movement or seasonal and atmospheric affects.
