I put my sunglasses in front of my #iPhone #camera on the second photo and it made a really neat difference!

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 …

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.

View of green field with blue sky and clouds and yellow sun as viewed through a car window. You can see the car door and mirror framing the landscape. Green field and trees with yellow sun in the sky and clouds. Sky is mostly yellows and orange with very little blue. Green field and trees with yellow sun in the sky and clouds.

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.
