One of my favorite watercolor paintings I did while I was at LAAFA. I felt it exhibited a look that I had been trying to achieve. The luminescence of the lights; they feel like they glow. This was achieved by the value separation and additionally that the darks are opaque while the lights are transparent.
Another painting with a limited palette.
Transparent watercolor; W&N Venetian Red (Burnt Sienna), W&N Vandyke Brown (Burnt Umber), W&N Yellow Ochre, W&N French Ultramarine
