Field Studies in Watercolor

After I got home I did some final touches on these two field studies done on my horseback ride in the sierras in the last post.  These are 5 x 7 on an Arches block.  The block I bought from the shop was too big for the saddlebag and they offered to cut it in half for me.  They suggested I put miskit (rubber mask) on the cut side so the watercolor doesn't seep to the next page.  It was a great idea and it worked very well!
