inspired after a Nov 15th walk
at Maine Audubon, Falmouth, Maine
and painted Nov 18, 2024, 7" x 5" (w x h).
How?
A Quick 14 Minute Sketch
Using a 1" flat brush on 5" x 7" Fabriano Artistico paper.
Wet sky solid color with a deeper blue color spread into the top. Violet painted quickly below with hard edge open with spaces, and edging the wet violet into the wet blue sky, holding the paper tilted so that the violet blooms as trees into the sky, the wonders of watercolor. With the sky still wet, brush out the clouds with a damp brush and a bit of paper towel, lifting the color, which works fabulous with Fabriano but not at all with Arches watercolor papers. When dry, add depth with deep Payne's Gray Blue, and finally add the fields in the white spaces with Naples Yellow, leaving some white edges for eye-catching contrast using Daniel Smith, Schmincke Horadam, and Winsor & Newton watercolors, selected for light fastness and permanence, and Uniball waterproof fade proof ink on 140 lbs. Fabriano Artistico cold press rough 100% cotton extra white watercolor paper, framed.
