I don’t paint plein air (from life) too often. I know I should because you get a better sense of perspective. I decided to paint the view from my living room window. I’ll admit that I had a photo I’d taken earlier on my laptop, taken with a Zoom lens, so I could verify detail, but I tried not to reference it unless I was getting lost.
Next time, I think I’ll paint something closer to me, lol.
Done with Arteza gouache, ZenArt Black Tulip brushes and Hahnemühle Cold Press Collection watercolor paper.

Thank you so much, Phillis!
Beautiful painting! Wish I had a view like that, but I live in the heart of my city, with mostly fences and high rises for a view…lol

Lol! We were so fortunate. We bought the lot a long time ago when this area was still the boonies, and then saved for years so we could build on it.
