A few weeks ago, when the San Diego Watercolor Society’s monthly paintout group met at the Trevi Hills Winery, I completed a Plein air piece which I blogged about on April 14.
I also started a second piece that day at Trevi Hills, finally finishing it yesterday. I began with a discarded painting that I had prepared by reactivating the paint and then giving it a good coat of gesso. It had lovely yellow-green areas with strong brush marks curved around the paper. I used the marks and color to guide the placement of the vineyards and fields. It was an interesting process, and I plan to do more of this soon.

I really like how we, the viewer, are on a steep hill, looking across. to a steeper hill. The painting pulls us in and solidly places us there. Delightful colors, shapes, movements and line. AL

I love how this came out and recycling a previous painting. I do that too sometimes. I like the textures underneath.
