and a cityscape
The palette, range of colors, I'm using, is mostly from the transparent nonstaining colors, aureolin yellow, alizarin crimson, cobalt and I think viridian. And a bit of burnt umber, but only a bit.
It's practically impossible to make mud accidentally with these, so I recommend them if you're wondering what colors to work with to embark on watercolor painting. And all the paintings to date I've done with a half inch flat brush. No pencil marks ahead of time, plunge in with the brush. Just fyi. And the paintings themselves are perfectly rectangular, but my camera skills are imperfect so they don't always appear that way.
As to the content of these pieces, I have a good idea of what I was saying, but I don't like to impose it on the viewer. Always open to hearing what you see in any of my work, though, because that's sometimes a surprise, sometimes not, but always useful.
