SharonParticipantThis is my first try at a landscape in the field. I was actually so focused on trying to paint the landscape, keep all my materials handy, mix colors, and keep the flies and sweatbees off me that I forgot to make any other observations. I really need to work on that. I also realize that I should pick a focus area because there can be a lot to look at in a landscape. I do like the wet on wet technique because it gives such a loose feel to the painting.in reply to: Filling Your Sketches with Color #714127

SharonParticipantThis is amazing. I love the brightness of your cardinal and the contrasting colors. Also, your tree branch looks so real--I can "feel" the texture just by looking at it!in reply to: Filling Your Sketches with Color #713471

SharonParticipantThis was a fun project, and although I see some areas that could have been better, I am happy overall with my first attempt at watercolor from a photo. I chose a great blue heron because they have been at the lakes on the conservation area I have been visiting lately. They are quite interesting to watch. Their beak is like a dagger. Anyway, here is my painting, and, as you can see, I smudged the eye and dragged the color through an area I wanted to be white. I tried to add water to lighten it, but didn't want to mess up the paper there.in reply to: Filling Your Sketches with Color #713469

SharonParticipantI did spend a lot of time doing my drawing and wonder how I'll ever be able to capture a bird or animal that can move out in nature. And especially how I'll be able to capture it in watercolor. Also, I noticed in the earlier video that there are watercolor paintings on the front and back of journal pages. How can you use watercolor on both sides of the same paper and not mess up what's on the other side?in reply to: Jump Right in! #648935
