My recent post Casting Practice reminded me that I never finished a piece from November 2013. Our Saturday paint-out group was at the Los Angeles River to paint. When we arrived it was kind of exciting to see a man wading out in the river and doing a lot of casting. There was a photographer shooting the casting session. The photo shoot might have been for an ad or a school project. I hadn't finished adding the fishing pole and line in this watercolor until I painted at the Pasadena area casting pond and got a better look at more casting action. My most recent visit to paint at the river was in March and I shared that watercolor in L.A. River Ducks. It will be fun to visit again to see the ever-changing river.

A complex scene Sherry painted beautifully. I was drawn to the small image in my email and immediately wanted to see more. Do you ever take these plein air works and then do a bigger studio version?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine! I don't think I've painted any larger studio versions of plein air pieces.
DeleteLove your composition, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joani!
DeleteThis is just lovely. I'm very familiar with the LA River. Spent a fair amount of time walking it's banks, but have never seen fly fishermen.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for pulling off a complicated watercolor
