Watercolor/ink on canvas 8 x 10 |
I got there a little late. Most of the other painters chose to be down at the river but gosh…I just couldn't paint any more GREEN. It was a pretty spot but FULL of mosquitoes. Nothing but trees and water. I was not inspired.
So I moved up to the rental building just up from the river side and found these lovely colors and shapes.
This was about an hour sketch (quite small) and fun.
Now I have to decide if I should put the dark background in behind them. Or put in a light background behind them just inferring something growing behind them. It seems like some more verticals behind them might work? Or some sky behind them and a horizon? Or just leave them as is. What do you think?
We had a WONDERFUL weather day and lunch at the Pea Patch in Manitowish Waters afterwards. What a nice morning.
Ginny - I love the wonderful colors in your painting - what a great choice for a subject! If you want an opinion, I like the idea of a dark background which would make those beautiful colors just pop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice day you must have had. Have a great weekend.
