I have a collection of photos I’ve gathered over the years and it has been a joy to paint so many of them over the years. This week’s watercolor is from a photo that has traveled with me for a long time – yet even after deciding that it was time to paint it, it took a while to envision how it might turn out. It’s different from some of my other traditional landscapes in that the colors were so specific and intense. So the painting challenge became a wonderful lesson in mixing paints, both in the tray and on the paper.
This week’s painting, Wooden Boat, 9” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper reflects a classic boat soaking up the last rays of the day.
