Getting depth is not easy-I have never done watercolor but I really like it. My Palette was not difficult to do. This is a great class

A little rainy day color theory practice.  Never really used water color before much, I like these brushes, but waiting for the paint to dry is tough.  On to the palettes this week.

This was difficult - took me days to complete.  I think it was premature to ask for a complicated watercolor at this stage after only a lesson on mixing colors.  There is so much more to painting this bird than just mixing colors.  I won’t even attempt the landscape at this point.

There are so many variations of the 'same' color! That is one challenge, and another is creating the perception of texture. I've discovered details need to wait until the base color is dry :)

I have taken a water color class before, but still find it a medium that challenges me! I appreciate the lesson progression, and had fun creating the palette.

I may have ‘played with’ watercolors as a kid, but this is definitely a first understanding tint, tone, shade, and getting into the depth of mixing to create just the color I was trying to achieve. It took time for some, others I felt worked quickly. As with my original goals for this course, I’m applying patience and as much time as needed to achieve the desired effect. If I haven’t said it before, THANK YOU, Liz, for putting together this course in conjunction with my favorite hobby, birding.

I used watercolour before, but it was difficult for me. I worked on both palettes, the landscape palette was more complex because it has a huge variety of colours, like all the colours you could think.  I am not sure i have them all.

The bird´s palette was shorter, it was great to do this exercise, I enjoyed this more.

The landscape was a challenge, because first I focused so much on the brighter colours and  when I though I had finished, then I realized all the colours from the sky were left.

Mixing the colours was great.
