Cougar Peak #323

4.75" x 6.75" Watercolor on Paper

Snow......beautiful snow that once again blankets everything in a layer of white. It was rather nice waking up this morning to see snow covering the valley. For this painting I used a bit of watercolor on a smooth plate type of bristol board. I usually paint on the other side of the paper that has more of a cold press finish, but it was fun to play around letting the paint dance on top of the paper.

Cougar Peak #217

4.75" x 6.75" Watercolor/Gouache on Paper

On this image I decided to switch things up again once more. I began this painting working with watercolors on wet paper. After I had gotten where I wanted with the watercolors, I came back in over the top of the painting with a bit of gouache. Finally not feeling that the painting was complete, I decided to then work over the image a bit with a Sharpie marker....and walaaaaa!!
