This was a new location for me. I hiked along a path and crossed a road where I saw the name of the creek. I came back near the building where all the kids were playing at Dimond Park. Usually, when I try to paint water, I wet the paper first. However, this time I didn't. The green reflection was so bright that I didn' t want to loose that. I painted that first after the top third, then put in the darks, then the rocks.

Amazing job on that reflection, and the rocks themselves. Seems like you used a colder palette for this watercolor. Did you? The day was colder than the previous Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI'm really attracted to your recent compositions without sky or horizon and I like the way this one has a great deal going on but leads the eye through the picture to the far bank of the creek. Great reflections I agree. Fran
ReplyDeleteI used the same palette of colors. I used the blue reflections in the foreground, made the browns with violet and Q. gold. and a little phthalo blue.
