This was painted with the help of "Watercolors for Dummies." The scale and colors are a little off, but I don't think it turned out too horrible.
This is just a random one. The splotchy background is the result of salt sprinkled over the picture when it was still a little wet.
And this one is the result of wondering if I could paint a fall leaf. I think I did a decent job - especially since I haven't seen a leaf like this in a while (One of the downsides of living in the SW). Thank goodness there are plenty of reference pictures online... which is where I also came across the quote!
Gorgeous leaf – I love autumn, it’s my favourite season
ReplyDeleteAnd that salt background is ace, I’ve never got that defined a result when I’ve tried it. Maybe I’m using the wrong kind of salt (I couldn’t find rock salt so used dishwasher salts instead :) )
You've got the talent! Each piece has something that really stands alone. Just like with anything, practice & patience will make you better.
ReplyDeleteGood job trying something new, I don't have the confidence for this project!
How we miss fall on the equator. The color of the leaves are so beautiful. I think it is my favorite season.
