Original artwork description:

Trail through the woods in Northern New Mexico,

Another in a series of watercolors working to achieve a minimalist feel. A fun way to bust loose and explore with sumi ink and watercolors using quick strokes with a Japanese writing brush on rough watercolor paper. 16" x 12" image size with 16" x 20"mat, ready to frame.

The subjects I choose to paint tend to have an interesting massing, a layering of elements and a quality of light and shadow. As I travel, should I come across a striking scene I may simply take a picture for future reference, draw a quick sketch or paint on site.

Materials used:

watercolor with ink on arches paper
