Watercolor on Arches 140lb. Cold Press paper 4.5" x 15"
August 1998. An early attempt at plein aire with watercolor - in fact, I believe this may be my first. I was on a family vacation to St. Pete's Beach in Florida and was trying to capture the true color of the water so that I could be more accurate when working on the actual painting. All work, at this time, had been done exclusively from photo's I had taken. I was surprised when this turned into doing an actual painting. I do not remember enjoying this process of working from real life very much at the time. The lighting, contrasts, and color seemed to be changing much too quickly for me to use my normal process.
