Alas, on this mid January sunny day, here I go again sorting through portfolios. To my credit, it is evident that past portfolio sorting decreased the number of watercolors that went nowhere. I am pleased how few there are to finish.
The watercolor (photo below) is the one I’ve chosen to finish. It is from a photograph taken circa 2010.
No print out of the photo is attached. It would take me hours if not days to find the photograph. I believe the tree is gone as well.

Even without the original photo, the watercolor stands beautifully on its own now.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Veronica,
DeleteThank you. Good point. The background building is going to have a light metal blue gray wash, fade back for the tree to stand out.
It's fun seeing your art in progress. And yes, a photo is a reference but now it is art.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteThank you. This year carries over the goal to enlarge a photo to frame and hang on a wall. Not easy to choose one,

What a fine artist you are. I wish I could take WC lessons from you.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteThank you. The best teacher of watercolors is the water. Put color and a brush to paper is like riding a bike, balance, control and getting where you want to go.

I love ❤️ this painting.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
DeleteThank you. I was too distracted and exhausted to paint yesterday looking for my jigsaw on another project. Today is the day to paint.

I think I would have a hard time picking up a project after so long being in time out. It's going to be fun watching this progress to a finish.
