What a nice morning we had painting at the Southwest Museum again recently. It's been over a year since the last paint-out there, but I sat in the same spot to paint my watercolor. My watercolor from November 2012 is posted here Southwest Museum with a bit of the museum's history. Although I sat in the museum parking lot at the same picnic table, I planned to avoid painting the building's tower as I did last time. Maybe I should have tried it again to hopefully see an improvement after a year plus. Instead, I looked across the Arroyo Seco valley from the hilltop museum to the hilltop to the east. I see watercolor artists I admire painting rooftops so well that I thought it would be a challenge to try a piece from my bird's eye view. I really had fun with this view of the rooftops and distant hillside.

You done a great job from this birds eye perspective Sherry, something I think I would struggle with. Your tell tale palette all over this one I would reconise your work anywhere!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lorraine! I had "orange" in mind for the view and went with it even though it was actually much greener/bluer.
DeleteClever you, difficult angles from where you painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Polly!
DeleteYou did this so well. I have a hilltop view of my neighbor's barn and have so often tried to capture that perspective...so difficult. Looks like you pulled this off wonderfully. Have a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, thank you so much! Have a good weekend as well!
DeleteWow, the texture you got on those hills is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joani! Not sure how that happened!
DeleteI am so impressed, Sherry. You achieved a wonderful rooftop perspective, which IMO is very difficult. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry! I was surprised this one went happily.
