Surreal Moose

This was kind of a hilarious painting. Laid some orange down on the paper and absentminded put some blue sky beside it and suddenly the paint was dull. Hah! So I went with it. While I planned on having a vibrant orange painting, the shapes that started emerging were quite interesting .... and so no more orange was added, and the mountains took on a surreal wintry look. Added the moose as an afterthought to balance out the empty foreground. Kind of a bizarre surreal look overall but there is harmony in the end product ... although if someone had said I would be painting moose today, I would have laughed :)

Day 8/30 of the #30x30DirectWatercolor daily painting challenge (no pencil lines, just laying color on paper so rather challenging but definitely developmental).

Surreal moose - lol!
