Watercolor in progress

 

Here is a watercolor landscape in progress...in Kathy Summer's watercolor class, we are working on painting dynamic skies. I am really pleased with this sky...I like the back-lighting behind the clouds. I am painting on Arches 140# paper. The sky was painted very wet and I used tissue to take some paint back off. I will put another wash or two of purple over the distant mountains, work on the trees on  the split of land to the left and work in another split of land on the right with a rocky low shoreline. Then after all that, I will consider what else needs to be done to the water.
