After Richard's 1:00 demo in a grassy meadow with a view of the mountains (picture of his demo below), We spread out to paint. It might have been around 4:00. I cut a 9x12 piece of white Kitty Wallis so I could finish quickly, and I picked a really simple scene that was up close and had strong contrasts. I made the watercolor stronger this time since the morning one was weak. That made a big difference for me. I was delighted that I could do just a few pastel marks over the watercolor - and left most of the watercolor showing. (Yay!)
Here is my underpainting:
Here is Richard's demo: a complete painting - ready for framing! Really informative demo - he is great at putting his techniques into words - and watching him work was totally inspiring!

You create and realize the amazing things, Carolyn! And then, when you look at the picture, you feel full harmony between nature and the artist! This is great!
