Approaching Storm, Red Barn

3x4 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper done today.  Starting with two pours for the sky, colors were laid in on very wet paper, allowed to dry, then imaginary barn sketched in pencil and painted.  Weather over the past 24 hours was the inspiration for this miniature country landscape.
