A simple wash or two can tell a story if you express the values you see. This was a quick demonstration for a plein air watercolor class I held recently.
I splashed in cool and warm greens, added shadows, and incorporated the wild grasses in the field. Finishing with Derwent Inktense pencils to express some of the weeds in the foreground, and the hickory tree gave a sense of the place.
I may add more detail to this sketch, or I may leave it as it is, a reminder of a lovely, sunny summer day spent with other artists creating in nature.
I hope you take 15 minutes this week to sketch a scene that catches your eye!
