Watercolor and Pastel
9" x 12" Winsor and Newton WC on Fabriano Artistico Hot Press 140lbs
This is an uncompleted "Plein Air" work thus far. It was done in stages over a 5 day span while there this last summer. There is a live oak tree hanging over the marsh that should be in the fore-ground. My original intention was to add this as the painting progressed, however, somewhere in the process, I decided not to put it in. I guess I prefered the broad, uninterupted view of the marsh at the time I was working on it. I plan to punch up the blue in the sky and the reflections of it in the pools. If that does not add what I am searching for then I may put the live oak back in. This was my first attempt at adding pastel highlights to a watercolor. I am very happy with the texture it adds .... I plan to experiment some more with this combination.
