Barn in Snow (Hwy 6)

I ripped up a piece of Curry's own brand of 200# CP paper and devoted it to a rendition of a barn on Hwy 6 N.
First I drove over to photograph it and a few other places in the gentle morning light as the snow fell softly.

 
As I mentioned Curry's own brand 200# CP paper (worked well without stretching) Windsor and Newton paints.

The paper has some strange artifacts as you can see in the upper left portion other than that and it being a bit thirsty it wasn't bad.

The painting is about 8" x 10".

  1. Wow.. You are certainly becoming a skilled watercolorist. Is your camera becoming jealous?

    How is Curry paper compares to Arches or Fabriano Artistico?

    1. Well nothing really compares to Arches and as for this one you can see some 'artifacts' in the upper left. It looks like the paper wasn't sized properly or something.
      It is now relegated to being torn up into smaller sheets :-)
      I haven't had the opportunity to try Fabriano in sheets , only in a sketchbook and that I liked!

    2. I don't know what sketchbook that would be but I don't think that would be Fabriano Artistico paper. They make several lesser grades of watercolor paper, though. Artistico is their top-quality paper.
