Another small landscape from a few reference photos combined to help me get started. This one is on Arches 140# rough from a 7 x 10 inch block.
My inclination is to go back in and "finish" this one - but I'm not going to do that. Going to leave them as I leave them and let them be whatever they are.
Dear Rhonda - I can see that the rough watercolor paper gives more texture to the scene. Love both of your landscape paintings and would find it hard to say which one I prefer. Hope you have a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteLove the plumes, the simplistic approach and the depth. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI do like doing landscapes with rough paper to add that texture and sparkle where the brush dances over the paper, leaving some good whites :) Sometimes the right paper is a good choice.
ReplyDeleteAK, thanks so much. I'm trying to simplify but it's not always easy for me to not fiddle with the paint!
I like the loose style of this little landscape Rhonda, there is some magic which is often the case when we let wc do its thing. I interrupt it too frequently
ReplyDeleteWow, Rhonda! I think this is my favorite of all your paintings to date. The palette is exquisite and I love the looseness of this landscape!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful RH. Glad you're going to leave it as it is; soft and sparkly!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much, Lorraine, Sherry, and EM!
ReplyDeleteReally like this landscape :).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy! I am enjoying your blog posts and paintings, too - will look forward to hearing about your abstract class with Barb Smucker!
ReplyDeleteLeave this one. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol, I am doing these quick and trying to keep it clean and fresh - no overworking (I hope!!).
ReplyDeleteWonderful! The runbacks are so suggestive ... like a marsh at high tide (or something!).
ReplyDeleteGood on you for not going back over!
