For my assignment for my watercolor class this week, I decided to paint a scene from a photo of Lopez Island, one of the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound. I’m going there next week to paint with other plein air painters, and I thought I’d practice before I go. I chose a scene of a rocky inlet with trees on the hillside. Little did I know how I would struggle with those rocks! I painted five versions of this watercolor in addition to the black and white version. In the end, I used a credit card to scrape out the shapes of the rocks in the foreground.
Wonderful….. THANkS for sharing.
Thanks, Jean!
Practice makes perfect, right? I like the end result.
Thanks, Warren. I’ll keep practicing.
I saw all the practice attempts. Really, they were all good even as they were different from each other.
Thanks, Sugar!
This just says San Juan Islands. I like the composition and the warm/ cool push pull.
