watercolor landscape painting river and trees with water reflections

watercolor landscape painting river and trees with water reflections
"Serenity"
In painting the water reflection I first wetted the entire water area.  Then I dropped the dark tree reflection on the left in and let it diffuse.
I waited to see how far it would spread and then I painted in the blue of the water careful not to let the 2 areas run together lest I get a back wash or a strange color combination if they had blended.  At this point I can wait for it to dry, rewet it and then drop in the tree reflections on the far bank.  Instead I chose to wait for it to dry and then I just painted in the tree reflections.  The point of  doing it this way is that I have both hard and soft edges in the water, which makes it more interesting. Though either way will work

Taxes and school! Large acrylic landscape panorama painting on canvas

"Panorama in Blue"

12 x36 large acrylic landscape panorama on canvas

I've been doing my taxes today, and probable will be doing them tomorrow. Maybe the next day, also. I have some paintings in a show in Bloomington that I need to pick up. It's a 4 hour turn around, so that will probably waste a whole day. Four hours, that's assuming that I don't linger in the cool coffee shop, and take to long eating a Chipotles Chicken Burrito. We are having great difficulty with my sons Junior year. I'll be glad when school is out, just hoping to survive it al this point. Here ia a painting that I painted yesterday.
