Open Water

Dead Creek East Branch
Cold & Windy

There is still open water on the lake 

and at Dead Creek in Addison, Vermont.

Lunch outdoors was not a good idea.

It was too cold and windy.

The Golden Hour Watercolor Update

Dead Creek East Branch

  The first challenge for me is getting the color perspective right. Instead of sketching first, I made a few light pencil lines, and started painting right away. Not my best moment because the scale is way off.

In situations like this, I will finish without a lot of detail. using the painting as practice. I will then start over on another sheet of watercolor paper.

Thus far, I'm so digusted with my lack of paying attention, I haven't touched the painting with a brush in two days.

I did finish a major project today, furniture issue. That turned out well. And, I cleaned up the mess afterwards. No piles of stuff waiting for me to decide where to put it. 

Anyway, I will be painting later today. Another photo will probably appear below.
