“Sunrise” watercolor sketch 1-3-08

This is a watercolor sketch I did just before the sun came up over the horizon. It took me about 30 minutes…I laid on the background sky, trees and field, then the forground trees. It’s on the pale side, I was working on sketch paper, not heavy enough to mess around on. My objective was to practice with my small kit for field work. Once the sun came up, I couldn’t work on it because it was just too bright to look at.
