This weeks watercolor lesson at Riverside Arts Center tomorrow night is going to be a lesson in the gradated wash. This painting, which I finished today, was inspired by a lesson in Joe Garcia's book "Mastering the Watercolor Wash." First I did a painting exactly as he teaches in his book to learn the process - and then - because of royalty concerns, I painted my own version of his painting using the principles in his book, but doing my own composition and painting instead of copying his but using his principles.

Gorgeous rock striations! Just lovely!!
OOOOOH! I have that book so will revisit it and do something similar to this. Do you need any more ref photos that I have? This simplifies my attempts at painting these buttes. Cool!
WOW - this powerful - such saturated colours too - congrats. x
