tiny landscape

This tiny landscape is from a photo I took the last time we camped at Lake Raven near Huntsville, Texas. We’ll be heading back to that campsite in a few weeks. Below are a few photos I snapped as I painted this scene.

First I lightly sketched the scene in pencil. Working this small, I finally found a use for that ridiculously tiny paint brush that came with a Winsor & Newton watercolor set years ago!

I worked from a photo on my phone. This Demi Palette contains 4 colors inspired by the limited palettes used by late 19th century artists, plus 4 convenience colors in the smaller pans. More on my special-use palettes tomorrow.
