More settled in now, and using colors I know will work with wet and dry application.
This also got me to wondering about the rules of plein aire painting. I’m outside, far away from my studio. Using watercolors. Painting something I saw in my environment. Does it matter that it isn’t a landscape?
I’m also pleased to note that it’s actually easier to apply water to the paper when the sketchbook is flat. The water stays put a little better, and it’s easier to see with bright sunlight at an angle. Which is great, because it means I don’t have to drag the easel with me next year.
By the way, that’s cranberry juice in the glass, not paint water.
