Forest Passage Watercolor Tree Landscape Woods Interpretations

"Forest Passage"


Watercolor on paper, 11.5" x 8.5".

This is my painting for "out of the box" day on Daily Painters. It's an interpretation of my idea of a welcoming forest path in glowing sunlight. This is something I see as a visualization image for meditating or relaxing before a day of painting or to unwind after a crazy schedule. It is painted in a loose, impressionist way that is a little different for me. I enjoyed playing with the wet into wet washes and pulling lights from the almost dry watercolor paper.

Cockapoo Watercolor Dog Pet Art Poodle Portrait Spoodle Cockerpoo

"Muff"


Watercolor on Bristol paper, 9" x 8.5".

This painting is a watercolor on bristol board which is a 4-ply paper. The bristol has a smooth surface and reacts differently to the paint and water than traditional watercolor paper. It is challenging yet rewarding to get the details and textures to form the way I want them to. Burt Silverman uses bristol board for watercolor and describes his process in his book, "Breaking the Rules of Watercolor". He explains how you can rework the painting on the bristol board. I've painted several watercolors on this surface but I still love to work on my old tried-and-true watercolor papers also.
