Mixing Watercolor and Gouache 🌲 Plein air painting in the forest

Today's plein air session took place in a beautiful local forest on a mostly sunny day! I was practicing painting the dappled light, the highlights and shadows. This is another time when I combined watercolor and gouache to have a relaxing session. I talk about my process and share my thoughts. Enjoy!
