Sycamore Walk watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Matted 16 x 20, sold)
Sycamore trees are messy with their peeling bark and seed pods, but at the same time, that’s what makes them beautiful! This fall scene could be found anywhere, but it is right down the road in southern New Jersey.
I wanted to keep this painting fairly loose and play up the fall leaves along with the white tree limbs against the blue sky.
Frame size is 16 x 20, mat opening is 11.5 x 15.5. It is painted on 140 pound Arches cold press paper.

I sketched out these flowers while I was waiting around at a show. I neglected to take a few photos and found myself painting from memory for a class demo. It reminded me that you don’t want to be a slave to your photo references. I knew the colors and light direction from memory, so I felt freedom in painting without the photo reference. Great fun pushing the color vibrancy in this watercolor.
