Summer Landscape

5.5x8.5 watercolor using White Nights paints done last month in sketchbook of 80 lb paper. This quick exercise was done with brush only, no pencil sketch, and was completed in less than 5 minutes. Just a quick splash across the dry top sky area with a wet #10 round, followed by ultramarine blue. A low horizon line was put in using indigo blue for the darkest dark, pulling some of the line up and some downwards. Middle value foreground is a mix of yellow, quin gold, and UB for greens. Splatters applied when dry for vegetation and/or weeds. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
