Painting and learning from the #flatirons as seen from the green at #coloradochautauqua was such a joy! I appreciated the return to watercolor expression and to be curious and mesmerized by this #parkscenery in #boulder. After sketching on site I worked through adding many layers of paint in the studio..and resorted to many tricks of removing and adding dried paint..and then  adding ground to a few worn paper surfaces..and finally highlighting with gouache. The paper was almost ruined and overcurled...but after flattenning with an overnight "press"..all good!
