"Bald Mountain with Golden Rod, Rangeley, Maine"
This is my high quality plein air watercolor painting study of Bald
Mountain among Golden Rod from Sheldon Noyes Overlook, Rangeley, Maine.
Bald mountain has two trailheads for hikers and offers 360-degree views
from its observation tower, between Mooselookmeguntic and Rangeley
Lakes and the surrounding mountains. The conservation area is bustling
on the weekends for these popular trails. This study painted at Sheldon
Noyes is one of the best views of the mountain, where you are close
enough to see features yet far enough away to get a good composition
that includes the whole western side of the mountain The Sumit is 2,470
feet with an alpine ski area that was once located at its northern
slope.
I used a rare sheet of J. Whatman handmade watercolor paper about 140
lb press cotton rag paper and only pure Holbein watercolor pigments,
because they have no fillers. I begin with a high quality cotton rag
watercolor paper, then I use only high quality pigments including
Holbein, Daniel Smith and Winsor & Newton watercolor paints. I wet the
back of the paper 1st before laying in washes into the page, thus
creating brighter colors that are more vivid and alive.
