Media: Watercolor
Size: 3.5x2.5 in
I took the picture for this painting on an unusually warm day in
October. I spent the entire afternoon at my favorite parks taking
reference photos for paintings. I merged many of the complex shapes into
a dark purple mass instead of painting every detail of the trees and
underbrush. This is especially important with small paintings because
putting in all of the details would require a very tiny brush and a
magnifying glass! My favorite part is the bank of trees on the left,
there's a bit or orange beneath the purple and that gives them more
depth.
