ACEO: Summer Field

Title: Summer Field*
Type: ACEO** Art Card (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Medium: Watercolor
Original/Print: Original





I painted this little watercolor last night. I had no real plan or inspiration for this painting other than putting color on paper and watching to see what happened. As the sky color was spreading out on the wet paper, I came up with the idea of painting a field of grass and weeds. I applied burnt sienna and gamboge to the wet paper and it immediately started spreading into the sky. The yellow/brown colors blended with the blue sky to create light green shapes that looked like trees along the horizon. I experienced one of those "happy accidents" at just the right moment. This unplanned movement of paint was the inspiration I needed to finalize the scene.
