I enjoyed repainting and used some of the techniques we learned. I need to get better at washes. I erased the pencil lines and that made a nice difference. My colors are punchier too...thanks to glazes! -
I have a little backpack that fits everything and I did bring a water bottle to fill up my water brush. The paint set I have (not the recommended one...l already had a few) didn’t have white so I brought along a Lyra Aquacolor water soluable crayon in case I needed a tint. Another brand I have is Neocolor II. It was a good solution. I also found, since I had a small place to mix paints, that using tints, tones and shades of the same colors, just adding the same blues, greens and complementary colors back in as needed, saves space. It was pretty sunny and my paints dried quickly so I could glaze over areas and the colors were related.

I mixed colors but and tried to keep track so I would remember my combinations. I am not having much luck painting but that will come, I hope.

This was not my first experience with watercolors but it was great to see Liz’s thought process. I have several watercolor sets so did not purchase the recommended one but think it should still be a useful process to play with what I have. I would try to make a note of the colors used for sure.

Regarding gesture drawing a live or moving animal: if I keep at it, I will catch a moment or an angle of head or wing or tail that is distinctly that animal’s movement. That is satisfying...looking back and seeing what the animal is up to.

I selected a familiar wild flower and then one I was not familiar with. I was a little overwhelmed by the second one (Right side) . I think the Queen Anne’s lace was closer, easier to see and observe. The second one was more complicated but did make me think of a lot of questions about the flower portion, and leaves. Great exercise!
