Aspens in Snow ~ Demo WC Palette Knife

15x11 watercolor demonstration for Big Spring Art Association today using a palette knife only.  This is on Canson 140 lb cold press paper/Daniel Smith paints:  Quinacridones burnt orange/gold, ultramarine blue, indigo, sepia, transparent pyrrol orange, raw umber, and Mission Gold burnt sienna.  In this imaginary tree scene, one can feel the first snow and see several remaining autumn leaves clinging to branches.  I painted this upside down.  A similar scene was also done with a palette knife featuring birches in 2012.  Negative painting can be seen in the background on other trees.
