It is rewarding to experiment whenever I can in watercolor whether it is with the paint, the paper or with new techniques. I lifted paint from the lower sky with a damp brush and paper towel. Also, I painted pure pigment in the upper sky to make more hard-edged clouds which I think added a touch to the painting.
These are things I would not have done a year ago yet I feel add much to my current practice of painting. In addition, the shadow in the foreground is much freer than I would have done previously.
This watercolor was painted on 'The Masters' Choice' an economical watercolor paper with a nice rough texture. I really do like this paper.
