Harvest moon supermoon partial eclipse, watercolour 6 x 7.5" cold press, September 2024 (No. 4065a)
Turning my brush to the people with the cameras, I did a quick sketchy painting of the scene. Bridge, city, sunset, highway, and people with long lens cameras, you don't see that every day. The cloud is pink (PR122, PO73) with some yellow-orange on top (PO62 + PY97).

As the previous painting dried I worked on this one, then went back and detailed the previous one. I've used the alternating approach before, especially when it is humid out. The main reason is due to the effect of wet paint. Here, I paint the sky first with a juicy blend of coral and dark blue, then have to let it dry before painting over the bridge spire and houses in the distance. As a watercolour painter, one develops a good sense of planning the painting out so as to avoid things running together. Although done quick, I kind of like the energy these paintings bring.
