No 3

Not sure if I like this now,it will have to do for the mioment as I have to get a number of works done or at least started etc for next sub, this one will sit until I decide to leave it or do more,if anything I think ive over done,water colour is often better left with minimal working..

"Spring Dance", watercolour,2012. 297x420mm

 

 

 Meanwhile I did another yesterday,Im happy with this a lot more though theres an aweful lot I have to learn,I think theres progress.With this one I sketched the basic scene,used masking fluid to hold the white areas and then proceeded to paint the rest,wetting the paper only where I was working on was a wonderful step forward technique wise, for me anyhow,the colours didnt leach or bleed and there defined edges stayed sharper,really ahd fun with one..

 

This is after I removed the masking stuff

 

And what I had last night,not sure if Ill do anything more,dont like the dead leaves but who knows it might be ok..I have to get another pic as the colour looks a bit bleached in this one.Ok I went back and auto corected that pic,still the same as original but its a bit better lol
