The Golden Hour Watercolor Update

| Dead Creek East Branch |
In situations like this, I will finish without a lot of detail. using the painting as practice. I will then start over on another sheet of watercolor paper.
Thus far, I'm so digusted with my lack of paying attention, I haven't touched the painting with a brush in two days.
I did finish a major project today, furniture issue. That turned out well. And, I cleaned up the mess afterwards. No piles of stuff waiting for me to decide where to put it.
Anyway, I will be painting later today. Another photo will probably appear below.
Good progress! I look forward to more!
ReplyDeleteMy monitor is bad so don't have much color showing up-but I know your painting is awesome hugs
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you but when I start painting after a drought of inactivity I may as well just toss the first one away or find a way to turn it into bookmarks. I think you'll be fine in the end and probably far better than any of us could pull off. But it will only be so well done as YOU think you want it to be when you finish. (Or maybe that's just me...)
ReplyDeleteThank you , Marie
ReplyDeleteI look forward to more as well. lol
I almost started this morning, but decided to enjoy my chai tea first. If I get to painting, then the tea gets cold.
Thank you, Kathy
ReplyDeleteThe most difficult color on a monitor to achieve, I think, is the pale almond to off white that matches the true color of the watercolor paper. It looks pinkish in the photo. None of the changes I tried worked.
Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteYou have a good point. Bookmarks are nice made from watercolors. :)
I understand about getting the colors right-it's not easy for me. But you know the old saying about value-if you get that right, the colors are secondary. For me, value is the hardest part. I'm happy you aren't afraid to paint from a photo-you get so many opinions about that. I love using photos. By the way-I really like what you've painted. You can change what you paint from a photo-so what you have on the paper looks really nice to me.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteValues are to me are like pulling the throw over my head when the movie scary part is on screen. lol
I know if I read and put in the effort, then painting may not have as many ooopses to deal with.
Have a great week!
That's a practice painting? Looks pretty good to me so I wouldn't call it practice!!
