Painting on a Larger Scale

Sunset on LIttle Salmon

Original Watercolour and Ink

4"x6"

I recently received a commission to do this painting but on a much larger scale.  This is essentially a thumbnail of 4 inches by 6 inches. I have painted literally hundreds of paintings this size. The washes are so easy as they are just a "swish" of the brush. I have stretched out a piece of arches watercolour paper that will measure 20 inches by 30 inches. I hope to  somewhat capture the same place.  It definitely does create some challenges for me like:  Doing washes this big take skill and speed.  I will have to really plan that out.  Also, I have not been painting in watercolour lately so feel a bit rusty.   I will post my results next week as the painting will be done by this weekend.

Beautiful artwork made in the outdoors by Yukon Seniors!

The last few weeks in Faro we painted a sunny day with fireweed on canvas with  acrylic  Another week  we made art cards with watercolour and some ink.  

This week it was a landscape, a rose or a moose all in watercolour!
