It’s Watercolor Wednesday again. I went out first thing this morning to buy sunflowers. This painting was inspired by Charles Reid, with drips, spatters and sprays. Great fun!
Cloudy Day Fall Hike

I started this yesterday on my usual Watercolor Wednesday, but amidst interruptions and having to take our Sun conure, Cookie, to the vet, I didn’t get a chance to finish it. You can see the work in progress that I posted yesterday by scrolling two posts down.
I painted this from a photo I took on Monday, when my husband and I went hiking around Lake Minnewaska. Although the day was heavily overcast, the foliage was at peak, and the vistas along the carriage trails were a treat.
I know this looks like some kind of strange abstract in its infant stages, but stay tuned! Watercolor Wednesday will continue on Thursday this week, and I’ll post the finished painting tomorrow.

I’ve always admired watercolors and love using them to sketch, but it seems I never set time aside for them. I’m going to start “Watercolor Wednesdays” here on my blog as a means of reserving time to work on my watercolors.
This is a scene from a little park near the train station in Cold Spring, New York. I used a photo reference and a 5×7″ Fabriano watercolor block of their delicious hot press, rag paper. I began with a modified contour drawing alla Charles Reid:
I just received his new book Watercolor Solutions, and the DVD that goes along with it. I give them very high marks, and I’m looking forward to exploring some of his techniques as I work through my own plein air landscapes, life studies, and photo references.
