- Plein air watercolor painting of a pond with water lillies
Plein air watercolor painting 7 inches x 10.5 inches
Back from a wonderful, sunny month in Naples, Florida. We left frigid Michigan just in time--right before it was socked with two huge blizzards.
I painted quite a few pastels and watercolors when we were down there, spending a couple of hours every day looking for interesting sites. One of my favorite places was the Naples Botanical Gardens. Every Tuesday morning they welcome artists, easels and all, to paint on their beautiful grounds. I was fascinated with all of the gorgeous water lilies in the ponds at the park. I'd never painted them before, but was really happy with the way this plein air watercolor painting came out. I took tons of photos to work larger, possibly in pastel, back in the studio.
