"Florida Palms" $99 13" x 9" watercolor |
Today's painting is pretty basic, but was really fun to paint. I started by wetting both sides of the paper and then blocking in the base color (light green for the trees and light blue for the sky). From there, I just kept changing to smaller brushes and thicker paint to create the shadows and deeper look of the palms. Watch for more contemporary palms in the future. I plan to make cards of this image.
Yesterday,we spent the day on the beach. I could get used to this life!
You just can't come to Florida and not paint palm trees! It's almost mandatory, like painting birches in Minnesota. Enjoy your time here.
