15x11 watercolor done today, a partly imaginary garden scene featuring my old potting table that is really pale green, pots of geraniums, and red orange poppies. I have all but the poppies; hydrangeas haven't bloomed yet. Larkspur and lilacs have already shown their faces. This was sketched yesterday using brush only, no pencil, and is on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper. I painted wet on dry for the most part, spritzing with a fine water mister for softening far background elements. Time to garden!
