Summer Meadow

5.5x8.5 watercolor in sketchbook 80 lb paper done first of March using no pencil, only a very wet brush over already wet sky. I let the color flow down then added a low horizon line using dark indigo blue. Letting the water touch the #8 round brush allowed the heavier pigment to spread out and blend. Quick colored sketches such as this are often under five minutes and are lots of fun. With this medium you never know what you will get! COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
