What is a painter to do when she wants to travel light? Pack her watercolors!
Natalie invited me along on a skiing trip to Terry Peak, SD with her husband, two brother in-laws, sister, and her five kiddos. I planned to keep up the daily painting tradition (I only ended up painting one of the two days there) and so I packed along my handy-dandy water color kit.
Natalie and I split my little watercolor paper in two and both painted a nice long rectangle of a still life that took me a painstakingly long time to set up. It’s incredible what having good lighting will do to your subject. Let’s just say, if the lighting is poor, it’s almost not worth the effort. Almost.
