Since Sunday, I have painted several sample palettes for the imaginary Belize waterscape. I have also completed my first watercolor sketch. Its subject is the mountains and sky, including a little of the shoreline.



This type of work helps me learn how the different paints I have chosen behave in the mixing and glazing process. I also have narrowed my choices of colors.
And I’ve come to the conclusion that hot press paper will give a better result with this technique, so I’m off to the art supply store in search of same.

All the stripes are very evocative.

If I remember anything about my trip to Belize almost 20 years ago, it’s the colors of the ocean. I’ll never get tired of the dark-royal blue with the turquoise. I see I’m not the only one!
