Windows, Idaho City -sold


watercolor & gouache approx 11x8 inches magnify/purchase Reading about John Singer Sargent this weekend got me in the mood for some watercolor. Not surprisingly, he produced about 900 oils. But did you know he did about 2000 watercolors? And he had no problem using some opaque paint here and there. I had fun with this, then even more fun playing with some gouache on top.

  1. I love watercolor with gouache, and this is a lovely scene. Haven't been to Idaho city since forever! This makes me want to go explore there again.

  2. Thank you JSS for inspiring you! It is a beautiful painting that expresses the feeling that Idaho City gives of emptiness and remembrances of many, many people long gone.
