Sunny in Detroit today, and the foolish (including me) smelled something Springlike. I went to our largest park, Belle Isle, and painted the James Scott fountain – backlit in the afternoon sun. Using W&N tube gouache, I did the first 2/3 in transparent washes, and the last 1/3 with thicker, opaque gouache on 5.5″ x 8.5″ sketchbook paper.
