Threatening Sky

5.5x8.5 watercolor using Da Vinci and White Nights paints, an imaginary stormy landscape done last week. This is in a mixed media sketchbook an is a limited palette of two colors: Payne's Gray and Naples Yellow. For the tree I did use a bit of mixed brown. Using these two opaque colors was quite a fun challenge. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
