After The Storm Watercolor

After The Storm watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 24 x 18, Sold)

I came across this old barn in the town of Mullica Hill. These treasures are slowly disappearing, whether it is from harsh weather or community growth. I can’t resist painting these structures, especially when they are lit up by the sun.

After The Storm is painted on 140# Arches cold press watercolor paper. It was painted as a demo for the Salem County Art League.

Cheers To You! Watercolor

Cheers To You! watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 16 x 20, Sold)

“Cheers To You!” is the second watercolor painted for the Cedarburg Plein Air competition. Such a fun event! Lots of mist while painting. I was so happy to see the sun so I could drop in the shadows.

I chose this subject because of the lovely blue doors and brilliant green ivy on this historic building which currently houses The Cedar Creek Winery. I also love the coined corners that can be found throughout the town of Cedarburg, WI. Originally the Cedar Creek Settlement (circa 1864), it was a working woolen mill until 1969 when it went out of business due to the introduction of synthetic fabrics.

The winery is not only beautiful, but produces some mighty tasty wine!

The Green Barn Watercolor

The Green Barn watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 21)

The weather is warm and the sky is blue which equals a perfect day to paint en plein air. This barn is located in Mullica Hill, NJ and currently houses a shop called The French Nest (home decor) and Canteen (a unique eatery). One Saturday, a friend and I set up our easels and tried to capture this green barn in watercolor. The challenge was a study of greens and how to differentiate the scene when everything has the same local color.

The images below show the initial drawing and color block-in.

The following Saturday, this painting continued as part of a watercolor demonstration during the Arts Festival in town. Thunder storms rolled in, so it had to be finished in-studio.

Plein Air Season!

Hanging Basket Watercolor 14w x 18d

Painting en plein air is great. Gets you out of the studio and into the sunlight. It also forces you into painting more freely due to time constraints. I participated in the Arts In Bloom weekend by painting en plein air at a local greenhouse. Great day!
