Inspirations and sketches from my studio in the Catskill Mountain. The solitude of my Artist Retreat compels me to keep exploring, seeing, experimenting, and painting all the picturesque quality outside my window.
Another typical scene of the Catskill Mountain. Black & White nestled quietly among the green texture of trees & meadows.
I started off with a watercolor rendering. I needed to use a small watercolor brush to define the cow.
I then highlighted the foliage with a few strokes of colorful pastel. Soft pastel over textured watercolor paper gives it that illusive quality of the light.
