Summer Fieldscape

6x12 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper, a quick demo done on March 2 for the Brownfield Art Association. I partly wet the sky area then laid in ultramarine blue, continuing on down to put in indigo blue then the golds and yellows for foreground. A nice summer field or fieldscape with no pencil drawing needed. Exercises such as this needs no reference photo and are good to get you into the mood for painting and for spring or summer.
