December Deserted Barn

5x7 watercolor using Winsor Newton travel kit on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper done early this week in our Vegas hotel room. This old barn is not in use and is another in my series of those once necessary farm buildings. A limited palette of burnt sienna, ultramarine blue, raw sienna was used along with a few marks with a Derwent colored pencil for grass details. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Field Barn

15x22 watercolor vignette on a half sheet of Canson 140 lb cold press paper done last week, painting wet on dry in a direct manner. A few areas had more than one glaze of this old barn structure out in a field. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Country Barn in Snow

12x6 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper done as today's work. An imaginary scene leads the viewer into the vertical composition up a slight hill to the old deserted barn covered in nature's white blanket.
