El Capitan in Yosemite Park


Watercolor on 11" X 15" Fabrino 140 lbs CP paper.  This is my first painting of Yosemite.  I have camped there many times and the granite formations are truly spectacular.  I tried to capture the spectacular:) The color tended to sit on top of the paper.  This is the first using fabrino paper. I used a little white graphic on the background trees, the rest of the white is the paper.  The Merced River flows in the foreground.
