This is the first time I have ever tried to paint a woods scene. Usually, I get the photos home and wonder what I was photographing since all the trees look alike. But this was a particularly beautiful day in Nags Head Woods one winter hike and the light was streaming onto the road and fallen leaves. So it was easier to paint than just a forest scene. I tried to give a feeling of light and atmosphere here and did so by using a lot of maskoid to begin with. Then I tried to work in transparent layers, always preserving the light areas. This is matted and framed, 8 x 10 matted to 11 x 14, watercolor on Arches, $175.
