Painting with watercolors offers a huge range of subject matter, techniques and opportunities to experiment. People who I come in contact with, say I paint with a wetter brush than most of the people they know. Yet, other artists paint with a drier and more controlled manner. Each person has there own approach to the medium which makes watercolor painting interesting.
I started this watercolor because I wanted to experiment with the combination of new gamboge and Payne's gray. Artists have mentioned to me that this pairing makes a lovely, yet, vibrant green. Some of this green even bled into the sky.
While I am always interested in any new greens I come upon, browns are a fascination unto themselves. As browns, out of the tube are rather unexciting, like most pigments, a rich and varied mixture is some thing to take note of. The browns under the trees came from a pool of neutral colors sitting on my palette from a previous time painting.
