About the Painting:
Name: Winter in the Park
Medium: Watercolor on 140# Arches cold press paper
Size: 5×7″
My Process: This is from a photograph I took after a snowfall this winter. After a quick sketch, I put in a strong yellow (New Gamboge) glaze for the sky and water, let dry. Came back in the sky with a Permanent Rose glaze, let that dry. Then finally a glaze with Cobalt Blue and Thalo Blue and let that dry. I rewet, with clear water, a 2-3 inch span on the horizon line, dropping in those darker colors as distant trees using Ultramarine Blue, Perm Rose and Quin. Burnt Scarlet. Once dry, I dry brushed the trees on the back hillside. Then made a rich dark from Thalo Blue, Aliz. Crimson and Burnt Scarlet and painted the trees up front. I painted the snowbanks with a light mixture of Thalo Blue and Cobalt in the back and used richer color in the front. A few dry brushed twigs and leaves in the trees and it was finished.
