Exploration Watercolors

Posted  

I’ve been sketching out new North Cascades and arctic compositions this week and completed several small 5″ x 5″ watercolors. I love this format for warming up in my studio and exploring ideas. The lookout was especially fun- I don’t typically paint architecture! It’s inspired by a stormy hike I made up the Lookout in 2008. Read all about it and see sketches in this blog post.

Goat Peak Lookout, 5" x 5" watercolor
Cutthroat Pass, 5" x 5" watercolor
Wolf Canyon, 5" x 5" watercolor

Did you use mask for the one in the middle? All three are great!

Thanks, Nico! I just avoided the snow patches for the Cutthroat Pass piece. I’ll sometimes mask on larger pieces, though
