Painting the landscape is always informative. Whether it is emphasizing a contour in the landscape, tweaking the horizon or simply observing a color outside, it is rewarding to capture the landscape, in some way.
What inspired me in this scene is both the curve of the West River and the intense blue of that body of water. There is also a freshness to the snow conveying a strong contrast in colors which is very appealing.
This is painted on 300lb Arches cold press watercolor paper. Even though it is a thicker paper I find that I still need to wet the backside to keep it from buckling.
