I hat…like watercolors
I always hated watercolors as a kid. I’m not really sure why I hated them, don’t think it was just because they often give kids crappy sets. Don’t know, just avoided them like the plague. Then a month or so ago I decided I needed a set to finish this picture I was working on. God, I was so reluctant to even try it! I kept telling myself if I didn’t like it I would figure out someway to undo it and try something else. So I went and got a little 8 or 9 buck watercolor set and guess what…I tried it out and I liked it! Which was a really good thing because I had to brave my way through the Art Fair (which is a huge deal here) I nearly killed a few tourists but…I survived to remind myself yet again never to do that again! (Never works but…meh)
I don’t remember who makes this set, it’s just a 18 color set in a tin with a nice little brush. The back of it came with some tips, that helped I’m sure (seriously!!). I tried to remember some things I had heard on those little afternoon shows on the public TV stations. Been horsing around with this thing ever since! I can’t stop!
So this is the second picture I did with this set. I ‘m glad I got two pictures of it cause it has changed. I liked the way the water was in the first one, then I’m not sure what happened. Too much water at one point or something? and it all blended? Dunno. Bummed. I like my cloud a little better but maybe it’s too much. So here it is:
Somewhere Beyond the Sea - Watercolor
Take 2:
Somewhere Beyond the Sea - Continued
The second picture is lighter than it really is. I’m too lazy to get and upload pictures right,
