Yucca Blooms
30 x 41.5 watercolor on 300 lb Fabriano Artistico Paper


I have been experimenting with some extra large watercolor paper that I ordered.  The paper is 30 x 41 1/2 Artistico Fabriano and it has been a real challenge getting a feel for working that large in this medium.  So far I have three paintings done and each of them has been a little different for me in how I approached the work but they have all turned out kind of nice.  They are a bit challenging to get framed for a reasonable price but so far well worth the effort for the result.
