The Daniel Smith paints continue to be enjoyable. The colors seem brighter than the cotman and the washes are easier to manage.

Lone Tree in the Valley -- Natirar County Park
I do not normally use the back of paper (I am just weird that way) but I have seen so many sketch crawlers do these amazing double page spreads. It has been something I have been considering for awhile. Plus, what drew me to the tree was the fact that it was the only tree in the well manicured valley in the park. As I started to draw it on the single page, it just looked too crowded on the page (defeating the purpose for painting it in the first place), so I kept drawing on the other page. I am quite pleased with the final result.

The entrance to the walking path at Natirar County Park, you can see the tree I painted off to the right. It was just a perfect day for sitting outside and painting.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea. I should return and paint this when the Fall colors are in full effect.
