Calling this one done. I think it’s time to invest in proper #watercolor paper. I’ve heard it makes quite the difference in what you can do. First time trying Oil Pastel stick things … no clue if I did I right …

Still working it. Going slow and deliberate trying to get the shading right. Following a Paul Clark video.

Sunset in the background with some trees and small retention pond. The sun is shining in a way to cause streaks of light to appear to be coming towards the viewer.

Followed a Paul Clark tutorial. I’m happy with one for sure! I didn’t have masking fluid, so I used a birthday candle I found in a drawer. Worked well!

#iPhone really make it easy to look like a good #photographer. The first #image is what it looked like from car. The other two are zoomed past the car door, so the focus in on the #landscape.

They can’t all be #winners. This #watercolor #painting was doomed as I finished the #sketch. But … a bad day painting beats the heck out of a good day doing lots of other things.
A water color painting of some buildings, cars, and people. It’s not good. You’re not missing much at all. A rainy street with cars and people in downtown Charleston. Not my image, best source I can provide is “the internet”

Sometimes you #findTheBeauty and sometimes you use #iPhone #filters and #edits to make it on an other wise #cloudy #dreary day.
Highly edited image of a green tree with a very blue sky in the background as well as a building with blue trim.
