Forest Fire 1

Artist's Gallery
Pastel Washes
Here’s another watercolor painting—this time a landscape. I’m going to be working each part of the picture in layers. First are the pastel washes. They establish the color relationships and undertone, create the mood, and lay out the division of space in the painting. And, if you don’t put too much paint on top, they’ll even show through in the final painting as highlights. This is an important stage!

Is the tree on fire?

I can't wait.

The tree's not on fire--the name comes from the brilliant orange in the final picture. At this point it could look that way though!

Are those fence posts in the front!
