I watched a Susie Short video on creating skies with watercolor so this is my first attempt to use some of her techniques. It was fun and made for so much more interest than my usual graded washes. Though I'm certainly not practiced at painting water, I kinda liked how this turned out. As with everything I paint, I can find lots of amatuerish things, but that just means I have room to improve, right?Today is Paint Party Friday and if you'd like to see more great art in a wide range of styles, click through - you'll be amazed!
I am SO frustrated - like many of you I've not been able to comment on other blogs so don't think I'm being rude by not responding - I just can't. I'll keep trying. I went to their help blog and apparently it's been a problem for several days. Hope it's fixed for tomorrow - if not, I'll check everyone out over the weekend. Happy painting!
Great painting, wish my water would turn out like that! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis is a great sky Terrie and a lovely painting. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteLove your watercolor. I think it's great Terrie. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteYour watercolor is lovely! I would frame it. We never stop growing as artists. Also, remember, art is a representation of life, and of who we are. If we wanted it absolutely perfect, we'd use a camera instead. Happy PPF! :-)

ReplyDeleteThose treasures you found over the weekend sound like lots of fun to use in your art.I came across two great big boxes last year and decided against buying them; another gal bought them the two for $10 ....I never thought outside the box;I was too worried about the other treasures I knew what to do with and didn't want to miss.....haha....can't have it all ! Enjoy your treasures!
