Hello! Since it's December and winter is here, I'd like to show you a little painting that reflects the current season. Because I am still very much learning to work with watercolor, I decided to follow a tutorial of a much more experienced artist - Karen Rice. The one I chose is called "An Essential Lesson in Watercolour", and can be accessed on You Tube here. I must say that Karen's instructions were very clear and easy to follow, and I had lots of fun painting along with her. Using watercolors is a little bit like herding water, so everyone's version will look different. Add to that one's choice of paint (Qor), paper ( Canson Montval), a tendency to tweak, and the results can vary dramatically from the original. 😄 Unlike Karen, I decided to skip adding human figures to my painting. Since I had to work rather quickly (before everything dried to a crisp), I did not take any 'in progress' photos. I know that my results are far from perfect, but I still have a certain fondness for the finished picture.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and creative day, and a peaceful Holiday Season.
