Morning Fog Dissolves Away

 

A recent watercolor study of mist and fog, created in the morning light near Sausalito, CA.
5"x7" - Fabriano hot pressed paper. It was interesting working with more granular pigments (Daniel Smith - Lunar Blue W/C ) in the washes, which adds a bit of character to the surface.

Fog & Sun

 The other day I had a chance to paint in watercolors on location near the Golden Gate Bridge. The dance of light and fog melted the edges of the hillside above the cove. As a rapid study in light I was going for a rough impression, rather than documenting fine details. One of the most saturated color elements I saw were orange construction tarps, wonderfully backlit.
