Mountainside. Watercolor and Crayon.
Approximately 8 x 6 inches. |
Yes, the colors are really that intense.
If you follow me on instagram, I made a few changes
since I posted there--I adjusted the foreground to add some brighter colors among the shadows, but also added some darks. And, I used crayon to gray out and define the sky. Plus, I think it benefits by cropping the top of the painting down just a little bit. Decisions, decisions.
Honestly, one of my joys of painting is making decisions about what I want to do with my paintings--it's empowering. My successes and my failures, and they are mine.
The palette is nearly the same as yesterday, with quin pink replacing the permanent yellow deep.
Daniel Smith--indian yellow, quin pink, and prussian blue.
Caran D'ache Crayon--light beige (although if you ask me, it looks like a grayed down white)
