Cliff Dwellings
Colorado has many ancient cliff dwellings. One of the most preserved and popular archeological sites in southwest Colorado is Mesa Verde National Park. I visited there in 2019 with a friend, and if you’re ever in this area, I highly recommend a visit. It’s mind-blowing!
Although I did not take the photo for this painting, another friend had an “Arty Party” in the fall of 2020 for a small group of people. She had invited a watercolor teacher who supplied the image and gave a quick two-hour class on watercolor painting.
He showed us a photo of his gorgeous finished painting, but I felt the subject matter of these ruins was a bit too complex and advanced for most of us students. I took my painting home and painstakingly worked on it for weeks! It was a great learning experience in glazing and how to capture the light, shadows, and depth of the image.
Watercolor painting on 140# Arches cotton paper using Daniel Smith professional watercolor paints.
