Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolour on Fabriano cold pressed watercolour paper (12.5 x 18 cm)
It was hot. I procrastinated. Debated about what to paint. Eventually settled on palm trees. By the time I finished doing a graded wash it got darker and the clouds came in obscuring the outlines of the palms, so I painted them mostly by guesswork.
It is amazing! But – I immediately noticed the lack of “sunniness” (which I associate with palms, I guess)!
🙂 Annie, I was aiming to do the dusk sketch of them – but didn’t to the background strongly enough. I guess I can try again today if I can find the energy in 38 degree heat
