On my third paint-out visit to the Southwest Museum in northeast Los Angeles I tried another watercolor from the hilltop. The museum is located in the neighborhood of Mt. Washington and has a convenient picnic table under a tree in the parking lot. I've sat at the same table to paint from twice before. I posted my previous piece in Valley View. That watercolor is looking east and I liked the way it went. On our recent visit, the mountains to the north looked hazy which is something I like for a watercolor. Wanting to try another bird's eye view from the parking lot, my picnic table spot was perfect!
p.s. Just noticed this is my 300th blog post. Pretty exciting!

I think that's one of the hardest things to do - paint houses on the grid. You really pulled this off. Such an excellent sense of color.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! No one knows how inaccurate the painting is! :-)
