orange, orange, tangerine

 

Just watercolor. I finally did it. Knowing that in its raw state it would serve as a great color study I resisted placing even one stroke of pastel. Let's see how long that lasts:-)

Preparatory Work/The River

watercolor on moleskin paper
These three small works are from my moleskin sketchbook. I have been trying to decide exactly how the composition and light will be for this large painting. It's always best for me to fiddle a lot like this before moving big. Due to Brian's influence I have been turned on to this new (to me) surface. It can take a lot of abuse.
I want to thank Katherine for noticing my blog and mentioning it on her site.
Back to work!
