Description
Watching the sky turn slowly from black to deep dark blue or some other "almost-black" color was the point of fascination for this series of "pre-dawn" paintings, of which there are now 6. And driving highway 2 across Montana (something I have done over a hundred times) offers one of the most evocative and enchanting settings for this daily transformation. The technique for getting the sky dark enough has been an evolving one. This, the first attempt, took 16 consecutive washes, letting the paper dry completely in between each one. The second painting got it in about 8 and the third in 3. A more experienced watercolorist may be able to do it in one coat. I don't know this trick yet.
