The Graveyard (WIP)


Well - this is going slowly, but I still think I am making progress with this poured watercolor.  This is watermedia - not watercolor, because I have poured with acrylic inks and I plan to use acrylics for the foliage and some of the final detailing even though I am using watercolor to define shadows and trees, etc.  This is a large painting - almost a full sheet (22"x 30") and I sort of like the "in your face"  qualities in the composition with the focal point falling in the area of the brightest and largest shape - the old yellow truck.  I am enjoying this painting very much - of course I am always happy painting vintage cars and trucks!
