Watercolor by Joseph Chiang

Both images are 8″ x 12″
300lb Arches cold press
with Sennelier watercolor

Both are painted with photo reference taken at the Central Park, NY…
However, they were done with different methods. This first one is additive layering(not sure if there is such term…), I painted the lighter background and gradually added darker foreground. The second one on the other hand is sort of painted intuitively…I painted the foreground and background at the same time with dripping paints on wet surface, and the space left over without paints become the lightest reflection on the painting; after that I added the branches and then some final touches for the shadow.
