Storm's Coming

Storm's Coming 11x15 2009 Watercolor.

This was an interesting painting to work on. It was done in a two-hour class I'm taking. We had a small color photo to work from. Our assignment was to work wet-n-wet and use only two colors, Winsor Blue and Brown Madder. I quickly drew in my composition and ran the quarter sheet under the hot water tab. I started laying in paint watching it spread. I had to quickly wipe up sections where the dark pigment edged into the areas I wanted to leave white. I could have had a better drawing, but all in all, I pleased with the results.
