Plein Air.Day 3.Part 1

I started Day 3 with this quick painting which seems to bear some resemblance to the last painting from Day 2. One difference is that it was done with watercolor and gouache. At the end of Day 1, I purchased a some gouache which I finally tried on Day 3. This was a new experience and I enjoyed working with the two media together. I should have been taking notes since I cannot now tell you where I used gouache other than to say that it's more opaque than watercolor.
Perhaps this was done more from my head -- while the image is nice it does not convey the age of the tree or the bulk of the trunk.
This shot was taken with daylight.
