Hilltop View

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!

  1. 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.
