If I play around long enough my style will appear. I'm guessing that this is kind of it. I'll keep working on other techniques in watercolor but for now this appears to be my style. I do like it and others appear (to my face) to also like this. Not every one of my paintings is a success. About 1/3 so far, but when they do I am rather pleased that anything good comes out of it at all. I do love color. Color is happy and outdoors is full of color, be it the west or back east with the greens. Color color color. Also doing some painting on hot press paper and see how that goes. Later......
It's easy to paint something like you have done before, so once in a while I step out of my comfort box. In this case it's a landscape but it's a busy landscape. Lots going on and hard to do. So it's back to basics. Photo : check, drawing : check, Paint : check.... and it kinda works out. Yeah it's more or less the same style but looks alright (at least me wife likes it). I remembered to take a couple of photos while I was working on it. This photo shows my setup and process with my iPad and drawing from a photo. Not working on an easel, just on my desk. One last thing. I have a number of frames squired away for my work as framing a piece can really make a huge difference in how it looks. I also have a mat cutter and some extra mat board so fitting my work to a frame is not too hard. Anyway, enjoy.
