The Crowell Lot is a lovely, yet spacious park in Brattleboro, Vt. It is more of a neighborhood park than a lot. It's characterized as having a nice playground, which the town has invested in and is thus well used by families with young children. In addition, the Crowell Lot has a popular basketball court - a favorite of young men. However, I have found no physical sign designating a name for this piece of public land in town.
This watercolor was painted outside late this afternoon. While outside it definitely had the feel that winter was coming as the low light faded fast and the wind increased.
It is customary to paint watercolors with the aid of a sponge and or paper towels. This way you can clean your brushes and catch any pooling of pigment. Well - today for some reason - I left behind any paper towels. For me I had to adapt and just carry on.
This meant using the only tissue I had and shaking out the brush when necessary. Overall, I don't think the absence of a paper towel affected the outcome of this watercolor.
