Quick Watercolor

For some time, I have been practicing, at times, painting quick or fast watercolors. This requires full concentration and quick decision making. It is a good practice when painting outside to paint fast and direct while recording what one see's of nature as time and conditions can be quite limiting.

I have read where Andrew Wyeth aimed to complete a watercolor in twenty minutes. This is quite a feat when considering he often painted watercolors using a full sheet(22" x 30") of watercolor paper.

In this watercolor I like the defined areas of color and the granulation of pigment in the sky(cerulean blue) and water(ultramarine blue).
