This summer I have been concentrating on watercolor paintings – from very small to medium in size. This landscape is an elongated vertical format which highlights the shadows on the path as well as the morning light coming through the trees.
I have used illustration board, 300 Lb Arches single sheets, Arches watercolor blocks and currently am trying the Fabriano 300 Lb single sheets. I am actually a bit disappointed with how this paper takes the watercolor but am working through the difficulties. 
I began by sketching on the watercolor paper then started laying out my color.
I am now at the point of fine tuning and adding greater depth and contrast. Comments are welcome, especially if you have a favorite watercolor paper or board to work on.🎨
I really like this, especially the shadows! Another nice board is made by Canson – Montval – Art Board – Cold press – watercolor – I buy it in a 16×20 size and cut down to smaller sizes.

I’ve seen the Canson board before and have been intrigued, so I think I will go get it in the same size.😉🎨

Your watercolor is stunning! My experience with watercolor is very limited. I have much to learn. Your paintings definitely inspire me.

I occasionally try a watercolor. I just don’t have the knack for it LOL. I learn a little more each time I try it…and I will keep trying. Thanks for the encouragement.
