Painting the landscape, for me, is an endless fascination of observing the landscape on my walks, experimenting with different techniques and simplifying my compositions.
I keep practicing with this mouth atomizer which I purchased many years ago. It is way different than merely tapping your paint brush against your hand. With this tool I can put down value rapidly across the paper, yet in a random delivery, devoid of brush marks.
It seems like a cool development in my painting arsenal, yet, I need more experience and judgement in using this approach. I certainly won't use it in every painting I do, but when necessary, it can add a magical touch.
The above watercolors demonstrate my latest application of the mouth atomizer. I have been utilizing this instrument in my landscape painting to gain more substance, texture and shadowing than I have done in the past.
