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.
