The Pond Again, 5x5" watercolor, plein air, ©Diane Mannion
Day 2, 30/30
Having a great time exploring watercolor! This was painted in a sketchbook on hot press paper. The watercolor stays on top of the surface and if left alone (paint a puddle and leave it)... forms hard-edged patches when dry. It's a technique that I've long admired about Maurice Prendergast's work. Click here to see an example.

Lovely watercolor, Diane. What kind of sketchbook did you use?
Once again, you introduce me to a new artist! I went to look at his work, and loved his "Venice Canal Scene"! Good luck with the challenge, I'm less stressed than I ever was about it being my third time! Thanks for posting this and allowing me to learn more from you!
Martine, thank you for your comment. It's a Hand Sketchbook about 6" square which I found in an art store. Mine is wire bound. I think Blick carries the brand.
Hi Kathleen! Thank you for your comment. I'll keep an eye on your 30/30 work... you go girl!
Lovely colors and edges! I love water color, what a great idea for this challenge!
Thanks, Karen! Glad to see you're doing the challenge also.
