This was a very fun watercolour to paint! Lovely loose warm washes for the sky and then some darker washes in the foreground. There is very little detail in this painting but I love paintings like this. Suggestions of things that the mind turns into things. Hope you enjoy painting it. It is a great technique to lift out the sun using your thumb and a couple of tissues. This was first demonstrated to me by Tony Smibert.
Happy Painting!
