Colorado cabin colored
Well, after about 4 sessions on this small picture, I finally have the watercolors done. It is easy to overdo a small piece, so I took my time. After the initial washes, I spent several days adding more layers a little at a time. It was not easy, but I am fairly happy with how it has turned out.
I added magenta to the shadowing to increase the color palette. That orangy siding was really hard to work with and I needed to add some other color besides the ubiquitous greens. Because of the risk of forest fires, I am sure, there was no close landscaping per se. I managed to put in some small scrub trees and yellow flowers in the meadow surrounding the house. That helped soften the hard lines of the house.
