Layered Landscape

5.5x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper completed today, an exercise in layering one color over another and finishing with darkest values.  No pencil was used, brush only, in this semi-abstract design of cool hues with warm accents.  This technique was outlined in Veronica Lawlor's new book One Watercolor a Day: A 6-Week Course Exploring Creativity Using Watercolor, Pattern, and Design (Quarry).
