Morning at Mugu Lagoon
watercolor on paper

For Landscape Painting. Same scene different time of day. Back at the Mugu Estuary. This is become my fave place to paint. This was done in the late morning. I was really attracted to the way the light hit the mountains and the pattern of the water.
Night at Mugu Lagoon
watercolor on paper
9 x 12
For Landscape Painting. Same scene different time of day. My first attempt at painting at twilight. I started this around 8pm hoping to catch the last light of the day. I didnt get to spend as much time as I would have liked since the sun quickly went down. The nice colors I saw when I got there started to blend into each other. What also made this interesting is there wasnt much light on my paper or my palette sooo I had to sort of guess what colors I was mixing. I am really glad I tend to set up my palette the same way every time :)
