Practice, Study, and have Fun in Watercolors

The founder of Toastmasters International said, " We learn best in moments of fun."

These little studies were fun. The long piece was a cut off of a larger picture and I just dashed off a quick sea / beach scene. The far right was from a place in Michigan we always went on vacation when I was a kid. The lonely tree beside it is just to get the feel of reflection in water.


The top picture of the second set is a study for Irises using a very slapdash effect. Lots of splatter and wet on wet in color and using complementary colors.  The bottom picture is a "impression" of sunflowers in a mason jar. I tried to mix realism with a more painterly look. (sorry about the flipped pix)
As with all mediums (computer included) I would say it's Practice, Study, and have Fun!

Well our challenge for today is have fun!
