The continuing adventures with my dear, old, and fickle companion watercolor.
I got interested in doing some studies of Palm trees, and found this candidate over at the Queen Liliokalani garden near Diamond Head. Drew it in one short session, returned to paint it on another…always a good approach if possible.

So, what makes a watercolor good?
These are exercises in mood and simplicity…I’m focused on shape and arrangement a lot more these days, trying to keep the paint itself as direct and unspoiled as I can. Just enough to spur an emotion.

More to come.
