Landscapes: using the white of the paper


In these landscapes, I was trying to use the white of the paper as part of the composition.  The top one is 10" x 14" and the bottom one is 14"x 10".  Both are water colour on Arches Aquarellle paper.

Unlike models, random people in your scene are not cooperative.  They move!  Fancy that!

I painted these sketches in August, either on the beach or from the porch of the place we were staying in Cape Porpoise...It was beautiful!
