This watercolor is painted on Arches Aqvarelle, 300lb., Cold Pressed, 100 cotton paper.
Arches was founded in 1492 and has been making high quality products until today, it has been rated the top quality watercolor paper in 2021.
I really feel that I am producing a very high quality painting when using this product, one that will retain its chromatic colors for a lifetime of enjoyment.
My inspiration for this watercolor painting comes from my trips to Scotland. The heather,trees,stone fences the coastline and the rolling hills.
I like to do a graded wash, for the sky, watercolors are good for this as it is free flowing , and becomes very natural, moving lighter toward the horizon.
