Moody Sky

10x8 watercolor using Daniel Smith pigments on Canson 117 lb cold press paper, done last week of April. In this colorful imaginary landscape I have tried to show the beauty of the land and the sky. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Pending Rain

6x6 watercolor in Masters Touch 80 lb sketchbook, another imaginary rain clouds skyscape over water. This was a quick and short demo for my class on clouds recently. Last night we did have rain at home. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Cloud Build Up

6x6 watercolor in Masters Touch sketchbook on 80 lb paper done week before last, another in my cloud and landscape series. We have a cloud subject challenge in WetCanvas' Landscape forum for June. In this imaginary scene, billowing clouds are turning gray with a promise of rain over the land and trees. I've used Daniel Smith's color Moonglow for most of the mixed soft blacks.

Bright Sun

7x9 watercolor on Masters Touch 80 lb paper in sketchbook done last week as part of a WetCanvas challenge I set up. Participants were given the prompt 'sun' and had to fit it into a landscape, skyscape, marine scape, etc. In my imaginary scene I used a cut circle from masking tape to adhere to the paper then painted around that, as I don't use frisket/miskit or any masking fluid.
