Vacation time! This ghost finds me painting on the deck outside the caboose we stay at every May.
Though I like the leaf colors, the real star of the show is the background. I painted this using my portable Koi watercolors set. The background is painted wet on wet using 022 Crimson Lake at full strength and considerably watered down (you can see the watery mix in the upper right corner of the tray). The result is eerily biological, like a microscope slide of organ tissue or something like that.
Also during the trip I finished swatching all the colors in the Koi set. You can see the tiny sketchbook I used for swatching on the table in the upper left.
