This was a very fun watercolour to paint! Lovely loose warm washes for the sky and then some darker washes in the foreground. There is very little detail in this painting but I love paintings like this. Suggestions of things that the mind turns into things. Hope you enjoy painting it. It is a great technique to lift out the sun using your thumb and a couple of tissues. This was first demonstrated to me by Tony Smibert.
Happy Painting!

A lovely scene and unusual colour choices this time Scott! Have been binge watching your videos lately and was thinking how you don't use greens in your palette.... and then this painting pops up! Wonderfully moody. TFS!!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi there, yes I don't paint in greens very often! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@suel4269]

Wow! This is really different for you! I love it. What happens to all the extra paint on your desk?

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Sue! I will sometimes just experiment when I come into paint next or clean it up if there is not much left. 👍

[@101curlywurly]

what is your table (made of) that you can use the whole thing as a palette?? It's fantastic!

[@vickylaw659]
