Watercolor Layered Landscapes

Watercolor layered landscapes. This painting was done in 4 layers, each layer building off the last to create a loose layered landscape with light effects, soft edges, dynamic sky, and bold brushwork. Learn to pour a loose and free sky, distant hills and foliage that is misty and full of lost and found edges, how to use bravura-bravery for bold brush work, and lastly some subtle finishing touches with a strong impact. This painting is dedicated to my father. The reference photo was taken on a hike at one of his favorite places, Whitewater Preserve in California. I painted this in a way to reflect my feelings that day, wondering if he had also noticed that busted old tree in his years exploring there, feeling as if he was with me, feeling close to him even though in this life I will never see him again. Love that I have found a place to feel near to him. Watercolor pouring is such a lovely technique to explore color blends and mixes, this painting used the following @DANIELSMITHArtistColor colors: Hansa Yellow Light, Quinacridone Sienna, Quinacridone Magenta, Sepia, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Pthalo Turquoise, and Pthalo Blue Red Shade with a little help from Daniel Smith Titanium White Watercolor Stick.
